Haiku: series 10

1.
two orange flowers
growing throughout a hot summer
bitter october frost.

2.
one dead grub rotting
slowly under the backstairs
winter comes swiftly.

3.
a lone june bug husk
under january snow
under clear blue skies

4.
one green maple leaf
autumn red surrounding
sugar flowing out

5.
brown dead grass and leaves
leafless oak, maple and beech
yet, no rakes around.

6.
the morning star fades
the orange and pink turn blue
the moon still hovers.

7.
a smashed wine bottle
leaves bright green shards of cheap glass
under cedar trees.

8.
white pine pitch seeps out
the thick bark smells clean and fresh
squirrel leaps on oak

9.
turtle in the mud
sleeps through winter's ice and snow
a lily pad sinks.

10.
a bass drifts slowly
with the currents under ice
the large stump stands firm.
