Haiku Moments

[Ropey]

hovering demands
embrace patterns of design
with approbations​

hovering hawks quilt
dread of foraging soldiers
war between the states

historical bases of hovering hawks



​

 

[freedombecki]

television din
muted for peace to prevail
sleepy eye review
​

 

[Ropey]

Raining and pouring
with more rain in Vancouver
untouched sunglasses​

 

[freedombecki]

sunshine is silent
warm wishes blowing fair winds
hoping for the best

​

 

[Ropey]

come hither yon winds
an effervescent greeting
comforting sunbeams​

 

[freedombecki]

hope-filled sunbeams smile
birds spreading wings to catch heat
fond aching for spring​

 

[Ropey]

blatant pretender
whose foaming diatribe blows
under sheets squirming
​

 

[freedombecki]

bright and quick red bird
summer tanager sings
short and sweet warble

They are astonishing to watch. They visit our yard just before the mockingbirds get her to eat the blackberries all up!
​

 

[Ropey]

echoes moving groans
timorous in vibration
embracing tree trunks​

 

[freedombecki]

meadow flower rug
between the peach tree flowers
happiness blossoms
​

 

[freedombecki]

sunburst o'er the clouds
lake waters full to the brim
bird in love song trill
​

 

[Capstone]

Pungency in air
harbinging the harvest moon
in Spring's fertile Sun.​

 

[Ropey]

a moment demands
prime timing in arrival
a matter of course​

 

[freedombecki]

hark, low cloud tarries
dissipation imminent
of spirits gloaming
​

Counting syllables
for obsessive compulsive
wannabe poets

 

[Ropey]

perspective enhanced
anticipation announced
projection tendered​

 

[freedombecki]

Counting syllables
for obsessive compulsive
wannabe poets

au contraire critic
haiku is best exercise
of synoptic skill


​

 

[freedombecki]

many winning cards
spin down in cheerful cascade
easing life's bad hand
​

 

[freedombecki]

sewing some sunshine
pretty in red white and blue
honoring betsy
