These Haiku were published in Issue #21 of Intrepid Press - The "Going Green" Issue

 

The roots search for peace
In the darkness of the earth
While branches seek sky

 

Field of vagrant blue
Field of petaled wonderers
Each bloom a treasure

 

Three soft and slow sounds
Words forming a melody
In this soft whisper

 

Slowly the sand grows
The desert stretches it'sarms
In greedy gath'ring

 

The earth shattering
Magnitude of collision
Darkness is opened

 

A new volcano
Rising from the oldest sea
Fighting for a voice

 

Towards the morning sun
Heading anywhere but home
Searching for answers

 

Earth's will is giving
Burdened by waste and plunder
Dying in our arms

 

 

Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is based on a three line outline; the first line being five syllables, the second line being seven syllables, and the third line being five syllables.
