Poems in Haiku Style

1. Sudden and harsh

The uncaring rain

Shattered the peony blooms.

2. Morning rose

Silver and blue

Matching the columbine.

3. When I failed

To see His Light

He filled my life with flowers.

4. Open and proud

The perfumed rose

Laughs in the arms of the wind.

5.A flower blooms

I speak its name

Known from an ancient past.

6. By my door

Finches fly

Golden through a golden sky.

7. Poised above me

A Being of Light

Blesses the earth eternal.

8. Gold and green

Two wondrous eyes

Peer from a pile of white fur.
