Horse Haiku

A frozen morning

Stable hay is not enough

The grey mare escapes

Bad haiku

This poem's no good
Missing subject or object
We'll fix it in post

hurry, hurry, hurry

The prayer bells are ringing

hurry, hurry, hurry

Leaves are falling,

the sun is setting

hurry, hurry, hurry

Storms are gathering,

Your hair is on fire
Your temples are burning
Mice are scurrying

hurry, hurry, hurry

Life is fleeting,

death is waiting

hurry, hurry, hurry

Time is a pyre

hurry, hurry, hurry

Gerberas. to Ana Laura from Botucatu, Brazil

Rainbow gerberas:
Five rise tall from winter's vase;
rich morning table.

Haiku

Behind the snow-covered bush

six sparrows alight,

reminding me - this won't do.
