Waterfalls trickle
sensing Winter’s slow reprieve
Spring flows warm freedom
Lionesses creep
through Serengeti grass with
infinite patience
Fish swim deep and dark
in latitudes of silence
Dead men tell no tales

We spend too much time
punching figurative clowns
not literal ones
Something’s tickling
tickling deep recesses
way back in my brain
One who remains calm
when chaos has been unleashed
will find himself ahead

From the river came
A lady snapping turtle
Big as a pie plate
Summer beach swimmers
Happily unaware of
Dark clouds looming near
Fence post almost lost
Overrun
with ferns and grass
Barbed wire sentinel
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/20/10
Wary brown rabbit
Sneaks onto manicured lawns
Makes final touches
Tree branches bend down
To dip into cool waters
At the river’s bend
The old weathered boards
Long forgotten at roadside
Now wear fern shadows
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/19/10
One tree in the field
High lord over low grasses
Gives shade to two deer
(You can't see the deer in this picture - they're laying down)
The tallest of weeds
Grow near high telephone poles
Daring to challenge
Grey moss grows slowly
Gradually creeping up
Furry tree trunks
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/16/10
Tree’s bark envelopes
The posted barbed wire fencing
Like some punk piercing
Sunlight a spotlight
Bowing with long leafy limbs
A (green) star is born!
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/15/10
Struggling seedlings
Push aside gravel tombstones
Toward resurrection
A single tall tree
Keeping a watchful vigil
Over old farm fields

Quick-stepping instant
Peripherally unsure
A lone calling card
Sharply pointed barbs
Protect the thistle’s treasure
White gossamer down
Fall is wonderful...
Crisp air... bright leaves... harvest time
Sweet apple cider!
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/7/10
Busily buzzing
Dressed in gold and black-striped fur
Bee visits flower
Deserted tree stand
Once hunters would perch on it
Now birds and squirrels
A dead leaf curls up
Slowly writhing in dryness
Becoming brittle
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/2/10
Milkweed seeds blowing
Drifting silky parachutes
Reveal the wind’s path
So shy and silent
Never wanting to frighten
Ghost crosses the road
Tiny sand-hill trails
Show the paths of wanderers
Across this desert
Haiku Koo-Koo 7/1/10
Sour persimmons
Rabbit Season! Duck Season!
You're despicable!
Self-righteous Vegans
with your misplaced compassion
Have a cheeseburger!
Suffer gladly thy
infuriating lovers
or drown without them
