midnight, silent moon …
grey mouse scampers
atop the palm tree fronds
a squirrel chases
a squirrel around
and around the poplar tree
Thanks for this memorable Haiku.
a squirrel ascends
the mango tree ~ a parrot
flutters spring melody~
night forest silence~
a disturbed bird call~
sound of a river~
misty forest dawn~
sunlight conducts wild
bird orchestras~
silent night –
carolers
standing in the snow
