A Cascade of Haikus

  What a lovely place
And yet so cold and forlorn
Warmth and light soon comes
 

 

Bathe in morning dew
Freshness filled the morning air
Withered before noon
 

 

With Godspeed I go

To conquests, fame and fortune

Don’t burst my balloon 

 

Such innocent eyes

Aglare from fiery red heads

Harsh beaks gnash fiercely 

 

I will get through this

Stark and sombre prison bars

Sunlight's dimmed by white 

 

Ah, the palms beckon

Leave the dreary icy cold

Balmy breeze awaits 

 

Rest your tired wings
On a velvet purple bed
A long flight ahead
 

 

Nature's ire unleashed

Bullying all in its path

Crashing waters roar 

 

The roar and fury

Of crashing, rumbling waters  

Silenced by a sob 

 

Never thought our love

Would create ugly ducklings

Push them off the falls 

 

The silver lining

In our lives are all but gone

The sun let us down 

 

Oh elegant grace

Still the waters of the lake

Majesty passes 

 

Blossoms overhead

Stand guard on regal swans 

 Not a ripple make 

 

Ill wind blowing wild

Smashing and slashing at will

Crack! a tree trunk breaks 

 

Dream of Boracay

Palms swayed by the balmy breeze

Waves lap at white shores

 

 Fish head soup is nice

But dolphins are quite scarce

Please set this one free
