Haiku ~ written August 14 2009

~

sunset tide breaking
even in tranquility
waves show no mercy

~

alley roses bloom
making exquisite efforts
and wither unseen

~

standing in pavement
an unencumbered violet
reaches for the sun..

~

solemn battlefield
where green soldiers have fallen
reeks of new-mown grass

~

trees standing decades
cut down, bleached, turned to notebooks
thoughtlessly crumpled

~

dandelion seeds
the wind's momentary toys
snowstorm in reverse

~

silent carnations
die willingly in vases
for the sake of love

~
