Some Haiku

For whatever reason, I like writing this form of poetry best.

In the forest - 2021

thick soft needle trail
roots flowing through like water
a warm summer breeze

tall fir canopy
lithe madrona reaching up
tree frogs serenade

a lone young maple
basking in a new clearing
broad leaves un-greening

young forest rising
long thin trunks always leaning
who will rise atop?

moss drips like water
borrowing lowest branches
the crown resplendent

first leaves underfoot
crunching through dim tree tunnels
ground thick with ivy

chirping conversations
birds greeting new and old friends
clouds thicken above

meadow of small blooms
yet so many buzzing bees!
grasses sway gently

On the beach - 2021

darting sandpiper
alights on bony driftwood
last rays of sunset
