Hear nature’s essence
And laud succinctly.
Intrinsically…
Kudos, clarity,
Unite syllables.

Haiku–An Acrostic

Fate
unavoidable
hatchlings left unattended
empty nest syndrome
∞
spring budding appears
years follow years…destiny
decrees renewal
∞
vulnerable snake
molting skin leaves him exposed
hawk hovers, then swoops
∞
withering decline
weak, slow, soft, decaying breath
death gently enters

A Walk in Haiku
The harsh, chilling freeze
Slowly warms into the spring’s
First hint of dewdrops
Left unfrozen upon the
Daffodil and rose. (Tanka)
Peacock’s tail lightly
brushes the tall courtyard wall–
disturbing ants’ march
tranquil, green anole
basks on warm, idle footpath
errant fly, no more
Cool, clear, trickling
rivulet, winds through forest
sun warms sloping bank
Leaves rustle gently
as the trumpeting swan glides
by–without a sound
Old bamboo thicket
Red-Crowned Crane selects a mate
Blustering wind sighs
Reflection of moon
Shallow rainwater vision
Mirrored at my feet
Welcoming ancient gate
Home, repast, sanctuary
Owl begins his night

In My Dream
In my dream, I run
Ghostly visions of past lives
Overtake my mind

Wind
Wind rises in gusts
Melody clatters bamboo
Clouds race across moon

Crane and Plum
white-hot summer sun
crane seeks shelter in plum tree
still lake reflects sky

Twilight
heron’s silhouette
distant elusive shadow;
twilight casts her veil

Stone Lantern
Tree cricket chirring
Sings out into the moonlight
Stone lantern flickers

Wood Stork
long, gloomy daydream
moody, morning reverie–
wood stork’s expression
These are common here in Florida. They are very somber birds with a seeming sad expression.

Spanish Bayonet
Spanish bayonet
Landscape pierced by spiking spears
Guards itself while still
These plants are common here in Florida. They have very sharp spikes–thus the name.

Kinsmet
Here’s a pwoemrd. A one word poem made by putting two or more words together to form a new word and meaning. Sometimes visuals are added. http://www.napowrimo.net/
I came up with “kinsmet” and a haiku to better illustrate my meaning.
Separated siblings
Long lost brothers reconnect
Kinsmet–fate, kismet.

Ghost Orchid

Elusive and rare
Enchanting ghostly orchid
Florida’s secret
These rare orchids are found only in Florida and Cuba. They are found in the sub-tropical swamps of South Florida and most locations are kept secret. Their true name is Ghost Orchid.
