The Art of Haiku
| Selections from Ukku Spring Haiku 2006 |
|---|
 morning sky — delicate butterflies dance in sunlight |
 early spring the land gives birth to another year |
 warm sun looks through the moving clouds— foreshadowing |
 morning air thick with memories— walking hand in hand |
 at the 4th hole he chips for a birdie— hope springs eternal |
 standing alone at the end of winter's road — promise of new birth |
 dreary afternoon — boxing up the last of winter's clothes |
 looking out a classroom window — hint of march |
|
wisteria hangs on the gate with lullabies |
March first — dusty short-sleeve shirts unboxed |
 reflecting in warm shimmering sunset — childhood memories |
 crossing the river with a smile — leaving winter behind |
 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 |
