Seasonally Haikuish(for the Tadpole Circle Four Seasons Contest) by Maureen GlaudeSpring
high March river
the runaway dock-
Tom Sawyers 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
01/12/2004 Author's Note: For the contest we had to enter only one haiku per season, so I dropped the spider one

Posted by David R Spellman on 01/12/04 at 09:35 PM These are excellent haiku Maureen. I especially liked the rake-shaped bare branch and the Spring and Winter ones are also favorites. Beautifully captured! |
Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/13/04 at 02:06 PM 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. :) |
Posted by Agnes Eva on 01/14/04 at 07:05 AM 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 |
