Five Haiku Poems by John Hawkhead

 




5 Haiku Poems


wild fennel

a butterfly jitterbugs

with its shadow




 

electric dynamo 

a spark travels down the track

of a kingfisher




 

lifting from the lake

a great crested grebe

becomes one again




 

longer nights

two ravens release

songs of the fall




 

heavy snow 

arriving in one fall

all my sadnesses
