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.

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.  

12.
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


35.
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


38.
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 


40.
winter dawn 

a butterfly wakes up 


in my dream
