Summer Haiku

SUMMER HAIKU #1

A ray of sunlight
Pierced the mist
And touched the cosmos
With his kiss

SUMMER HAIKU #2

A short sharp shower
Perfect end
To a sizzling day

Healing Sunlight – A Haiku

Healing Sunlight
A Haiku

He sat on a bench
In the hot summer sunlight,
His old bones aching,

Soaking up the warmth,
Feeling its healing power
Easing his stiff joints.

He felt for his cane
Then, finding it, stood up and
Tap-tapped his way home.

Welcome Summer Rain – A Haiku

Welcome Summer Rain
A Haiku

*

Welcome summer rain,

Invigorating shower,

Giving life power.

*

The grass has revived,

Many flowers have flourished

And our crops will thrive.

A Haiku for my Land

A Haiku for my Land

My wonderful land
With all its different people
Our Rainbow Nation

All living in peace
Together in harmony
United as one

Our love for our land
And our trust in our leaders
Binds us together

But

Our leaders must learn
That they need to earn
Love and respect by proving
Ethics and morality
Openness and honesty
In all their dealings

Haiku

Haiku

My first three attempts at Haiku -

A falcon flies fast
In a line above the ground
And swoops on its prey.
*
Bees buzz in a swarm
High among the tree branches
Gathering nectar.
*
Grey clouds in the sky,
Heavy-laden with water -
Rain falls on dry earth.
