Haiku Poetry
by Trina Schetzle
WINTER SOLSTICE
winter solstice light
begets frosty morning mood
death not yet awake
CATTAILS
Cattails whispering
ears tickled by the breeze
bring me home again
ROSE
wild rose embraces
fallen blade forgotten here
sweetness never fades
SPRING RAIN
messenger sublime
in solemn presentation
eternal spring rain
DEPARTING GEESE
storm king rides the frost
departing geese abandon
me, alone, again
CHRYSANTHEMUMS
tiny white russians,
ambassadors of healing
grace my arctic patch
Acquired Taste
Haiku, like good malt
savored slowly, carefully
unassuming warmth
