first light--
the chatter of small birds
everywhere
—Mike Farley
About the author: I live with my wife Shirlee on a cattle ranch near the little ski town of Red Lodge, Montana, and have been loving and writing haiku for several years now. I draw my inspiration from the images of the high-plains, mountains, weather, wildlife, livestock, ranch work and outdoor recreation which surround me daily.
at the spring fiesta
parfumed girls
saddened the flowers...
Is Tiny Words back?! I just dropped by today to see if it was! Horray!!
The croak of a crow
sets up gain
the silence
darkness
from within the deep woods--
cardinal song
i really like this haiku! The zen-like quality of awareness is readily apparent in the imagery. I find profundity in its simplicity.
dawn
one hour later than usual--
sparrows chirp in darkness
