Sleepless Night - A Haiku

Eye lids like marble
Shirt clings like a parasite
I just want to sleep

June Morning Air - A Haiku

Cool empty air tells
That later it will warm us
As we hide in shade

From Over the Fence - A Haiku

Smoke and charring meat
Carbonated snaps and shouts
of children playing

Dark purple clusters
Rest on cushions of green leaves
But their lives are short

Heavy Rains - A Haiku

Heavy rains falling
Make the ground leap for the sky
To give back the rain

Leaves swaying like hordes
Milling nervously in wait
For the final gust

And fall as new blooms erupt
Without aid from man

Drift off into night
The Trees are just silhouettes
As the last blue fades

Looking like blooms as they hide
In riverside nooks

The end is in sight
Our toil to feed the rich
Will take a respite

White kitten perched on
Sunset window sill chasing
Crows as they fly past

Overcast Morning Skies - A Haiku

Flat, gray sheets on sky
Wait for the morning sun's heat
To lift their burden

Skies colored like trout
Metallic sheets ablaze with
Protest of their sleep

Didn't Quite Make It - A Haiku

The racoon ended
In a dash to his refuge
Still now, mouth agape
