Haiku –
sunbirds
tired of winter life
filling green gardens
blossoms in bloom pale moonlight
in valleys on hillsides silver fields of wild rice
spring is here for flocking
birds
hanging baskets in summer
fields
aflame with blossoms flocks
of finches
a cold wind blows winging free
gentle breezes a shrill
cry
rustle oak trees starlings
alive in flight
how bright the day on a fresh wind
wishing for spring moonbeams
in the cool of evening dripping
moon dreams
fragrance fills the air lost
moments sipping tea
in barren fields
a cold winter moon
casts a lone shadow
