Another try at Haiku...Carma, how am I doing?


Haiku II1



Stark skeletal tree
Red rock of canyon vista’s
Pale blue horizon


~


Soft and sweet scented
Velvet beneath my bare feet
Emerald green sward


~


Stalagmite ascends
Magnificent cathedral
Natures’ creation


~


Twilight is falling
Suns’ last rays colour the clouds
Tree in silhouette


~


Squirrel is peeking
Ready to run up the tree
If I see him too


~


Pylons striding through
Our beautiful countryside
And Spoiling the view


~


Cherry blossom falls
Floating gently down to earth
confetti petals


~


white orchid bending
turning face from strong sunlight
hides in the shadows


~


Moth touches the flame
Mesmerised by the candle glow
Fluttering wings burn


~


Bird of prey hovers
Plummets earthwards like a stone
One House Martin dead


~


Flock of birds pursue
The murderous Sparrowhawk
And chase him away


~


House Martins chatter
To their offspring in the nest
Tucked under the eaves


~


Silver Birch singing
Breeze rustling through dancing leaves
Silver tinkling notes


~
