Bluebells are ringing
while the trees hum silently
Grasses are singing

Haiku: Deference
Who can see the wind?
Yet in deference trees bend
Still you deny God

Haiku: Greetings
Birdsongs presage spring
as I walk through frosted trees –
the frigid moon greets

Haiku: Moving On
A riverside pause
Peace found by this constant flow
My time to move on

Haiku: Oak Seeking
Oak-seers’ footsteps
hid by winter’s frozen shawl –
Whispers on cold winds

Haiku: Stumps
Wandering deserts
No one misses mesa stumps
Truth like lightening bolts

Haiku: Calling Card
The leaves have vanished
Winter’s left his calling card
The spirit renews

Haiku #37
Timorous birch tree
in the spring’s still morning air;
sturdier than me

Haiku #11 (NS)
The shaman’s spirit
abroad, deep in winter’s woods;
speaks in runic tongues
Copyright Francis 2021
Haiku: Snow Returns
The day snow returned,
buds showing on the blackthorn —
chilblains on my toes

Haiku (Four Line): Muntjac
Walking winter woods,
a muntjac’s prints
lead the way ahead —
a twig breaks
*(This still conforms to seventeen syllables but in a four line format)
