Dramatic Texas Clouds

Blue whale jumping the air

Giant cartwheel in the sky

Hurricane from afar.

Weather Change Haiku

Four layers of clouds
white, yellow, grey and dark blue,
Texas sky so high.



This is how I first published, but I think the new one (top) is better.
Four layers of clouds

white, yellow, grey and dark blue,

so high Texas sky.

Heat Haiku

Sitting in my puddle
drops are trickling down my legs
melting in Texas' drought.

Two Days of Rain in Texas

Pitter, patter, gurgle,

rising through thick, damp air

the smell of wet wood.

Texas State Park Haiku

Complete, utter silence
hearing no car, no people,
just one bee buzzing.

Spring Evening in Texas

Traffic sounding louder

light fading, crickets chirping

cool air caressing my skin.

Severe Weather Alert - Texas Haiku

Heartbeat up my throat

announce thunderstorms and hail

tornado warning.

Thunderstorm

Feet in warm puddles

some last drops cooling my skin

a rainbow so high.

Texas Sky Haiku

On bright blue background
orange waves with white crests sail
dark tufts underneath.

Texas Groceries 2009

Land of constant drought
just a few fresh stems of green
people searching bargains.

Texas Butterfly Haiku

Gliding graciously
wind gusts make dark wings tumble
plastic bag butterflies.

Texas Winter

Hard land, dusty crusts,
splashing, soaking rain leaves clouds
of brown scent sprouting.

Route to Austin Haiku

White tufted on blue
below, big bales are sailing
clouds in a high sky.

Riding home south Haiku

Cruising the highway
big black spots under the bridge
become bats, sleeping.

Spider bites Haiku

A swollen angle
itching and bleeding scratches
some small spider's bite.

Driving through Texas Haiku

Driving and driving
left and right bushland rolling
a wide open sky.

Texas University Tanka

Students passing by
shady corner on campus
I sense me relax.
Enjoying their happiness
I see how full my life is.

Pattern recognition haiku

Fingers of palm tree
leaves' rustling in constant wind
weave patterns of grace.

Hummingbird in Texas Haiku

Blossom to blossom
his wings only a shadow
red throat hummingbird.

Night out alone - haiku

Mild air in my face
the bookstore a meeting place
driving home at night.
