Seasonally Haikuish(for the Tadpole Circle Four Seasons Contest)

by Maureen Glaude

Spring

high March river
the runaway dock-
Tom Sawyer’s raft

Summer

pesky moth
indoors last night-
today's dead butterfly

Fall

over the leaf pile
a bare branch hangs
rake-shaped

Labour Day barbecue
two spiders on the siding
battle making love

Author's Note: For the contest we had to enter only one haiku per season, so I dropped the spider one

These are excellent haiku Maureen. I especially liked the rake-shaped bare branch and the Spring and Winter ones are also favorites. Beautifully captured!

I've read some of these before, and nice to again. I especially like the second Fall one, and the Spring one, and of course the black cat. :)

oooh these are all so fine!! when are we going to see these in the Tadpole contest? Fall & summer are especially effective, the rake one so highly suggestive, and the spider one even deeper so :)great work
