Poet's Corner
A haiku is a type of short-form poem that originated in Japan. Haiku poems are typically written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. They are unrhymed, but some poets may choose to rhyme the first and third lines for added challenge. Haiku poems often focus on nature or the seasons, and emphasize simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.)
CLOUDS TREES
pink threads in blue sky hundreds of tree arms
clouds of vivid orange and red reaching to catch air movement
paint box shows above wind makes trees stronger
WARM THAW
Willie Cat seeks warmth dirty snow on trees
his body drops next to mine the last dabs of winter ice
instantly asleep waiting for spring thaw
DINNER WINTER SKY
ears twitch, eyes widen miles of gray cotton
the opening of a can unraveled across the sky
the cat's meal arrives and pinned with sun beams
SAFE SLEEP
a blur of brown birds let the dark claim me
hovering in the dark sky under feather bed cover
while seeking safety not a speck of light
KNOW ANGER
What's truly trusted? What is mind fire?
Can it be truly questioned? Anger is conflagration.
Knowing then comes out . Meritous virtues destroyed.
