A Small Splash?



Well, here's a cautious offering:

I love haiku, even nontraditional subjects. Maybe one reason is they demand so little skill.
Apologies for formatting. I don't seem able to control it here at all.

Birches

Sleek triplets white

in scattered flashes, adorn

winter's sleeping woods.

Weeds

Brash rustics, crowd in

among fine grass, thornĂ©d rose –

they brave slashing hoe.


Spring

Imperceptibly

full buds swell to sweet birdsong –

Croci laugh at snow.


Friendship

The hand's clasp unfelt

and sweet voiced words unspoken

–love's gifts accepted.


Breakfast

Why not alone taste

first savor of the day? Boor,

The bacon’s burning.
