haiku
an old deck chair taps
a beat – floating orange leaves
dancing summers past
haiku
autumn leaves chewing
the cooling air – lovers kiss
under gas burners
haiku
a diamond at the blade’s
edge shows off the morning sun –
dripping in silence
haiku
sounds of the day fade
into whispers of night clouds –
a lonely dog waits
haiku
the new calf suckling
at the pounamu cow –
rain clouds tease the grass
haiku
the sea is singing,
playing cymbals on scaffolds,
haunting the night sky
