Traditional Haiku...back to basics
Yellow ladies
Dressing modestly
You shield yourself all winter
And bless us in. Spring
The regal flower
Graces us with her presence
Only for a time
Yellow dress you wear
Oh how you've been been displaying
On the reddish soil
Sky and Earth
Sky commands the Earth
Don't get up on my account
Stay right wherev you lay
The Earth does feel safe
Being blanketed by the Sky
"I won't shake today"!
Sky and Earth hold hands
Stratosphere gets so jealous
She sends something. down
Mighty Waters
Please bow to Water
Do not incite it's Anger
Or incur its. wrath
Water...kind or cruel?
You were once. the hands of GOD;
Please don't destroy us
Water/enigma
Will you dance for me today?
Or will you be fickle
Silent Tree
Please tell me ol' tree;
tell me all that you have seen
Standing all this time
Why don't you "branch" out?
Better move from where you stand,
else they chop you down
I can't see your feet
Always buried in the. ground-
Suckle Mother Earth

Beautifully done. This is a good time to think about nature and distract ourselves from human nature.

I like haikus but have never tried to write one. You do it well, my friend.

Thank you Senoritaa for your comment...and again I took liberties with the haiku; I never stay onbthe beaten path ;)

I like your unique style. Even though haiku has a set pattern, your wise use of the breaks in punctuation are unique to this collection. The sky and earth ones were my favorite.
