Haiku sequence

in the may sun

the hedge is singing

where did sorrow go?

 

sun streams

slantwise beneath the clouds

field of red gold

 

suddenly the dark

gold softens to grey singing

with nightingales

 

nightfall

birds still singing as if the

stars were not enough

wind plucks a tune

from blossom laden branches

plays the song of spring

Between storms

between storms

the meadow blooms

unperturbed

 

impassive deer browse

while thunder rocks the sky

until I appear

 

thistledown races

on the wind’s back—heralds

of the next storm

threshes clouds striking sparks

into sky tinder
