Hello Haiku
hello cherished pen
today we're writing haiku
or, at least trying
Naturalist
META Haiku
one tiny moment
cries out for my attention
naturalist joy
HYDROID HAIKU
teeny animals
live as one community
let’s learn from hydroids
FAVORITES HAIKU
no need for favorites
everything is connected
you can love it all
Rock Haiku
tempting spot to rest
ocean view, pretty lichen
yeah right, poison oak
Redwood Forest Memory Haiku
in your heart, I ache
remembering who you were
before the fire
Change Haiku
would you steal my breath
and fill my eyes with wonder
if you never changed?
Song Haiku
just beyond hearing
melodies drift among roots
a tree symphony
Sky Haiku
three quiet letters
carry each star, cloud, and hawk
and lift every dream
Acorn Haiku
your quest will end here
hammered in a long-dead spar
by this woodpecker
Fear Haiku
freeze, try not to breathe
shadows menace overhead
red-tail hunts you, vole
Snow Haiku
I left you behind
it was April, after all
you should have been gone
Fox Haiku
standing in the street
in charge of the cul-de-sac
I’ll just drive around
they think you are Prey Haiku
Taunt your predators
Flaunt your bold neon colors
Invite their regret
night blooming soap plant haiku
Will you bloom at night
Only for pollinators
Or now, for yourself
