Haiku Poems_Onthemoves!

1.

An old silent pond...

A frog jumps into the pond,

splash! Silence again.

2. 

Autumn moonlight—

a worm digs silently

into the chestnut.

3. 

Lightning flash—

what I thought were faces

are plumes of pampas grass.

4.

A summer river being crossed

how pleasing

with sandals in my hands!

5. 

Light of the moon

Moves west, flowers' shadows

Creep eastward.

6 

In the moonlight,

The color and scent of the wisteria

Seems far away.

7.

O snail

Climb Mount Fuji,

But slowly, slowly!

8. 

Trusting the Buddha, good and bad,

I bid farewell

To the departing year.

 9.

Everything I touch

with tenderness, alas,

pricks like a bramble.

10.

Over the wintry

forest, winds howl in  rage

with no leaves to blow.

11.

The crow has flown away:

swaying in the evening sun,

a leafless tree.

In the coolness

of the empty sixth-month sky...

the cuckoo’s cry. - Masaoka Shiki

13.

Whitecaps on the bay:

A broken signboard banging

In the April wind. - Richard Wright

14.

ground squirrel

balancing its tomato

on the garden fence - Don Eulert

15.

As the wind does blow

Across the trees, I see the

Buds blooming in May

16.

I walk across sand

And find myself blistering

In the hot, hot heat

17.

Falling to the ground,

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

18.

It’s cold—and I wait

For someone to shelter me

And take me from here.

19.

I hear crackling

Crunch, of today’s new found day

And know it won’t last

Falling to the ground,

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

A cricket disturbed

the sleeping child; on the porch

a man smoked and smiled.

20.

I'm turning over

look out and give me room there

you cricket, you.  

21.

As the wind does blow

        Across the trees, I see the

                Buds blooming in May          

22. 

I walk across sand

And find myself blistering

In the hot, hot heat

23.

Falling to the ground,

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

24.

It’s cold—and I wait

For someone to shelter me

And take me from here.

25.

I hear crackling

Crunch, of today’s new found day

And know it won’t last

26.

So I will leave it

At bay; and hope for the best

This bitter new day

27.

With changing seasons 

tiny buds wake up and yawn 

spring is in the air.

28.

We are but flyspecks 

On that window pane of life 

The window cleaner!

29.

Chicken or the egg? 

No Egg, No Chicken, Dummies 

It's a no-brainer!

30.

Like medieval knights 

Armor clad, in fields battle 

To reap victory

31.

after summer's rain 

God's promise is remembered 

glorious rainbow

32.

People united 

To secure their liberty 

Out of many, one

33.

Ire's crest: David's Harp 

Spring words 'Aaron Forever' 

Covenants of God

34.

Humbling the Irish 

God's creation of whiskey 

Preventing world rule

Patrick of England 

Preserving Erin's blood line 

Drove out the serpents

36.

Fighting for freedom, 

Fall of a valiant soldier 

Resting in the Lord

37.

'My sheep hear My voice' 

Christ did say, 'and I know them 

and they follow Me

Haiku will wake you 

Dullsville in brain sharpen quick 

Haiku no fake who.

39.

Mars admires Venus 

rising phoenix like to surge, merge, 

in gene I us

winter dawn 

a butterfly wakes up 

in my dream
