  Spring Haiku


Poplar buds swelling,
red-headed woodpecker
searches for insects

  *

Muffled by the mist
sound of a robin calling
his mate in the woods.

  *

Affiliated
with puddles, a small boy drowns
new red rubber boots.

  *

The old poplar snows
thousands of tasselled seeds
on the pansy patch.

  *

Tulips, scarlet splash
against spring greening lawn.
A crow saunters by.

  *

Purple violets
for sale on the vendor's stand
wilting in the sun.

  *

Rain in night London -
inverted tulips, black
umbrellas ballet.

  *

The rising moon -
a water-logged boat near shore
Frogs resting on it.



  *

Yellow morning sun
chases mist away swiftly -
sky turquoise blue.
