Create a “fusion” haiku from the 2 original haiku for CDHK crossroads…
Waving the pampas grass,
At the Shinjuku station,
I said goodbye.

The migratory birds
Make the wind blowing down to Asaka
From mountains frequently.

pampas grass waving
migrating geese all flown south
fall’s windy goodbye

in quadrille, rhyming verse Tags: fall, geese, leaves, pumpkin, sleet
Written for dVerse poets quadrille #15 on “leaves” theme.
cicada chorus hums in grass
daylight shuffles a retreat
autumnal dirge crescendos fast
music follows frosty sleet
mournful geese raise the call
barren branches grieve their leaves
flutter down in wistful fall
time’s march sighs reprieve
when voice of pumpkin
sings ripely from garden

in haiku series Tags: ducks, geese, quail, spring
paddling of ducks
mallard hatchlings learn to swim
fresh pack of quackers
plump covey of quail
rippling waves of prairie grass
breast speckled feathers
homing honks echo
a skein of canada geese
unravels the sky
Linking to dVerse poetics prompt…

honk gray geese vee tattoo
across low-flying sky’s ceiling.
ice-edged blue pond fingers
reedy border of dry wild rice.
undulating green winter wheat field
interrupted by bare windbreak.
peely red shed leans lopsided into
prevailing prairie headwinds.
buff-brown buck grazes placidly
among herd of hardy range cattle.
flap black crow caws contrary to
silently melting snow pile.
tufted straw-gold crop debris
disk-mixed into fallow, fertile soil.
sunny silver beams gleam earthward
between radiant cracks in clouds.
inspired white church steeple points
gratefully back toward heaven.
