Haiku – Winter Persists

Gray returns today
Yellow flowers shrivel up
Spring still weeks away

In this haiku, winter persists.

Haiku – Color

Winter’s gray broken
Rays of life warm the planet
Yellow flowers bloom

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, color signals spring is near.

Scars of a planet
Scabbed by concrete and asphalt
Homes lost, nature cries

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, habitat lost.

Man controls weather
Snow and ice knock out Texas
Mother Nature laughs

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, nature always wins.

Wrist tied, three kneel down
A bullet for each, they die
Two boys, one girl, lost

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, teenagers lose their life over drugs

Behind the dumpster
An addict with a needle
Lying in the trash

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a life is trashed.

The mirror has lied
Old age shows itself, wrinkles
Shocked you turn away

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, an old face is seen for the first time.

A train whistle blows
It sounds so lonely, tears flow
A loved one leaving

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a loved one departs.

Nature changed by man
Its waters, starlight, darken
Waiting for revenge

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, a hurricane approaches.

Black, no light shines through
White, darkness can not be seen
With only one, death

Haiku are short — very short — poems

In this haiku, night and day bring life.
