The Haiku Project 2019: August 2019

Saturday, August 31, 2019

Sitting in the sun
With a good book and a drink
Is near to heaven.

31 August 2019

Three days of gloom, rain--
Ended! And the birds return
To the trees, singing!

29 August 2019

It's only August,
Yet the hedge is turning red.
An early autumn?

25 August 2019

Dark clouds and strong winds.
Rain begins to fall in sheets.
The geese disappear.

17 August 2019

The goose army was

On patrol today. We had

Front-row seats for it.

16 August 2019

I stepped outside, and
The cicadas' buzz almost
Drowned out the traffic.

15 August 2019

Quarter moon shining

Through my bedroom windows; I

Lie awake, watching.

10 August 2019

The sounds and pictures
Still etched in my memory...
How many will die?

7 August 2019
(Remembering August 3 & 4)

Dead leaves fall from trees.
Dead bodies lie in the streets.
Just another day...

4 August 2019

(Two mass killings in two days.)
(Not all haiku are gentle breezes for the soul.)

One goose by the pond.
A clutch of goslings nearby.
A cycle of life.
