Six Haiku Poems by Katherine Soto


 


Haiku

 

I saw a flower

Bearing burden as a cross

White, pure in the sun

 

The leaves falling down

Golden coloured just for us

Each leaf a promise

 

The wind is blowing

Whistling through the treetops

Foretelling a storm

 

No strangers are here

Things that drive us, lead us on

Ever expanding

 

The green frog dances

On its lily pad so bright

As morning sun crests

 

Smiling cockily

mumbling, strutting, mad, goat seeks

lewd mild idiots
