maple leaves
heavy with rain
a crow flies
fall sunrise
the shadows of leaves
follow the wind
Jane,
What a lovely picture this Haiku placed in my
mind. Thanks for sharing. Helen Kinsella
So clear, so serene an image, both on the surface and in the deeper sense of life weaving shadows as our lives spin out. I love it, Jane.
august moon
shadows of pine needles
on the gravel path
Mitzi
somber blue skies
through the pines
raindrops make a path to the forest floor

dear jane,
that’s very observant of you, lovely, imaginative.
abandoned birdnest
hanging from a wire
the emptiness in me
In the winter daylight
the geranium from the window
is playing the spoilt child;
suddenly at the fireside
a Bengal cat begin to purr.
look…aspen leaves
fluttering to the music
of the wind chime
can anyone explain Jane’s Haiku? I could not understand it.
kamesh, it seems you’re not alone

back in the shadows –
cross the sky
the sun goes
desert highway
the hitchhiker’s shadow
soaked with sweat
cold day standstill–
from car to car
bottom of panhandle cup
