Saturday Morning Haiku, 5-7-5. 7-9-7, Poetry soothes the weary



Crisp Autumn embrace
Colors give the best cuddles
Hello, Mr. Ant!

I saw a bucket
Drip by drop it overflowed
Be patient, dear heart

Do not envy the butterfly her wings
She earned her elegance with hot tears and time
Cocoons do not cowards make

Dear sweet bird up in the sky
Won't you come sing me a lullaby
I want only to listen

Embrace change but don't forget
Becoming is a painful process;
Just ask that mountain up there


Light eddies on chilly toes
Her chest rises and falls next to mine
So, the Sun does also rise

Joy beckons to Grief
Just a little farther, love
I will be waiting right here
