7 Haiku poems, Varying Themes



Horses galloping
through the green grassy meadows,
paint a perfect scene.

Pungent floral scents,
awaken us to Springtime,
may cause us to sneeze !

Birds perched high above,
living close to water's edge,
watching sculls race by.

Clouds cuddle above,
raindrops dangle from leaves,
like crystal prisms.

Burning hot and bright,
sunshine fights through dismal clouds,
no longer hidden.

Danger looms ahead,
storm clouds turning green and black,
we must seek cover.

Voices barely heard,
beyond the roaring breakers,
seagulls' mournful song.
