in spite of downpour
birds converse about weather

Another haiku I originally posted straight to twitter – but I just like it – so I’m posting it here

#35 – Frog series continues…
harmonized love songs
easy on the ears at night
bullfrogs pitching woo
I originally posted this solely on twitter but now I realize it is in a similar line to other frog haiku that I wrote – evidently I am thinking a lot about frogs and pitching woo 🙂
#34 -Clark Strand’s – Seeds From A Birch Tree
Husband and wife haiku – I love it 🙂
back from the mountains
a yellow handrail guides me
down the subway stairs
~Clark Strand
the weathervane points
at the buds of cherry trees
pink and opening
~Perdita Finn
#33~prom
nervous boys search stores
pick flowers to match dresses
unsure of color

#29 – 2 more famous haiku poems
from the book “Seeds from a Birch Tree” by Clark Strand:
Swim Beach at low tide
a fragment of blue sea glass
with the rocks & shells
~Susan Rudnick
( I love this one because I scour the beaches for sea glass and blue is very rare- I love how this captures the unsentimentality of haiku)
scattered in the shrubs
unceremoniously –
the poison ivy
-Dennis Davidson
I hope you enjoy these on your Friday, or Saturday or any day really –
#28 ~ jaguaro
fred solves mystery
jaguaro chasing scooby
happy boy on couch

#27 ~ harbingers of spring
spring peepers sing out
serenade from the deep mud
lovingly pitch woo
