The Art of Haiku


Selections from Ukku Spring Haiku 2006
J Andrew Lockhart
morning sky —
delicate butterflies
dance in sunlight
J Andrew Lockhart
early spring
the land gives birth
to another year
J Andrew Lockhart
warm sun looks
through the moving clouds—
foreshadowing
J Andrew Lockhart
morning air
thick with memories—
walking hand in hand
J Andrew Lockhart
at the 4th hole
he chips for a birdie—
hope springs eternal
J Andrew Lockhart
standing alone
at the end of winter's road —
promise of new birth
J Andrew Lockhart
dreary afternoon —
boxing up the last of
winter's clothes
J Andrew Lockhart
looking out a
classroom window —
hint of march
wisteria
hangs on the gate
with lullabies
March first —
dusty short-sleeve shirts
unboxed
J Andrew Lockhart
reflecting in
warm shimmering sunset —
childhood memories
J Andrew Lockhart
crossing the river
with a smile — leaving
winter behind
J Andrew Lockhart
sunny afternoon —
birds declare spring to
the playing children
signs of spring
found in the night air —
scent of a skunk
sitting outside
in an almost warm night —
spring's first flying bug
old yard-work shoes —
hard on the feet after
a dry winter
almost spring—
testing tornado sirens
on a clear day
