Susan's Seasonal Haiku

January:

Lightning!  Midnight bright--
Seconds pass, then tympani:
January storm.

late February:

Lone goose flying north;
Soft mist floats on the river;
'Twixt winter and spring.

High clouds drift aside.
Sunlight glints on the river:
Promise of spring's warmth.

March:

Low clouds, ominous,
Give way to cold, clear bright skies;
Daffodils blooming.


Return to top


April:

White-flowered branches;
Rain, heavy at times, then clear.
Earth bursts forth with spring.

Clear skies, sunny skies;
Oregon, O Oregon!
Spring break was last week.

Sunlight, bright; eyes squint.
Winter-white skin basks in warmth;
April day delights.

Hail?  Hail!  But you said,
"Clearing after morning fog."
Trust the weatherman?

May:

Forecast:  dry and warm,
Yet cooler, chance of rain:
All bases covered.

August:

Sun; clear sky; dry, hot--
Not typical Oregon.
Rhododendrons wilt.


Return to top


October:

Brilliant scarlet tree
'midst orange, green, brown, yellow;
clear, crisp morning:  Fall
