More nature haikus !

summer noon-
toiling women in asian ricefield
harvest songs peircing the contryside

a time-worn tree
a gentle breeze
a falling leaf aflutter....



hillside village-
peasants sleeping in the courtyard
a crowing cock startles a hummingbird



Full moon night
placid lake water,heavenly mirror
Lo, a light wind, and thousand pieces!

I will if I ever do any. But I rather just read them and enjoy, then create a monsterosity.


BTW, Confusing musings, the answer to your question lies two articles below in this blog.

Haikus are cute compact Japanese poems. In the original, they are of 3 lines-first of 5 syllables, 2nd of 7 and last of 5 again. Modern poets dont strictly follow this 5-7-5 format but all haikus must deal with a central,single, spontaneous theme. Ok, CM?
