HAIKU COLLECTION
CLOUDS
Clouds move startlingly
Tracing billowing rhythms
Earth's circular pulse
AGE
Age bows head, slows walk
Yellow gray white fire smoke snow
Body slowly dies
YOU
Silent happiness
with none to disturb the calm
of being with you
WATERFALL
Yearning thighs of cliffs
Succumb with a sigh to wet
Relentless water
SUN GLIDE
Sun glide around skin
curves into hair-warming thoughts
Coat of contentment
Clouds move startlingly
Tracing billowing rhythms
Earth's circular pulse
AGE

Yellow gray white fire smoke snow
Body slowly dies
YOU
Silent happiness
with none to disturb the calm
of being with you
WATERFALL
Yearning thighs of cliffs
Succumb with a sigh to wet
Relentless water
SUN GLIDE
Sun glide around skin
curves into hair-warming thoughts
Coat of contentment
