I was here before
you came, and when you are gone
I will still be here.
A philosophical haiku!

A River Haiku
Peat brown water, calm
and quiet between the trees
in their summer green.
At the bus stop.
My roots warm up
Beneath the fertile soil
I stretch my arms aloft
To sun and wind
Tossing all my blossoms
Delirious.
Green City
Trees, plants and grass entwine
Branches, leaves and twigs
Caught in a Springtime tangle
Singing birds alight and leave
The air is filled with Insects, flies and bugs
Creeping, eating, mating, buzzing
Living out their lives in
This great green metropolis.
Haiku for Ivy
Ivy snakes around
a tree, tall, strong and rooted
providing a home.
COLD FEET
Trees get cold feet too
bushy shrubs pay attention
wrap themselves around.
Haiku for an old tree
A seasoned tree lifts
its limbs to sun, rain, wind, snow,
welcomes what life brings.
A Winter Haiku
Black against the gold
tracings on a Winter sky
December sunset.
Haiku for a brave tree
Minus head and limbs
an ozymandias tree
dying to survive.
