Wild wind whips my hair
Tosses it into tangles
Wearing weird hairdo
Rocks surround plant bed
Sun droops morning glory leaves
Water perks them up
Sensor light turns on
Lift up blind to peek and wink
Hopping frog eats bugs
Hummingbird whizzes
Flies around the Hollyhocks
Suckles pink flowers
Mexican Elder
Long-handled lopper works good
Dead branches clipped off
Butterfly dances
Mexican Elder approves
Breezy air flutters
Nighttime is falling
Trees become dark shape shifters
Time to go in now

New Haiku Poems
Mexican Elders
Growing like a wild fire
Birds hide, take refuge
Calico cat walks
Between the slats of my fence
Happy to see me
White dove on the line
Tail flips in jerky motion
Wet poo lands on grass
Finches, sparrows, doves
Happy hopping near sprinkler
Birds preening their wings
Spring is upon us
Water nourishes the earth
Hollyhocks growing
Oleanders froze
Careful cutting brings them back
New green stems emerge
Gray and white tabby
Prances out my front yard gate
Non-chalant and proud
Willow tree leaning
Forceful wind is the devil
Wood props hold it up
White plate for birdseed
Doves bully sparrows away
Sparrows watch for chance
Curious sparrow
Peeks in from my window sill
Sees me standing there
Telescope reveals
Deep crater on centerline
Half moon is half lit
Gray tabby cat hides
Half looks at me with one eye
Wanders on sidewalk
Fallen bird nest torn
Attaches to grass and weeds
Fine twigs are stuck there
Heat wave is coming
Horizon seeks time of day
Sunsets - pure beauty
Awesome turquoise sky
Bubblegum purple mountain
Color for my soul
Growing like a wild fire
Birds hide, take refuge
Calico cat walks
Between the slats of my fence
Happy to see me
White dove on the line
Tail flips in jerky motion
Wet poo lands on grass
Finches, sparrows, doves
Happy hopping near sprinkler
Birds preening their wings
Spring is upon us
Water nourishes the earth
Hollyhocks growing
Oleanders froze
Careful cutting brings them back
New green stems emerge
Gray and white tabby
Prances out my front yard gate
Non-chalant and proud
Willow tree leaning
Forceful wind is the devil
Wood props hold it up
White plate for birdseed
Doves bully sparrows away
Sparrows watch for chance
Curious sparrow
Peeks in from my window sill
Sees me standing there
Telescope reveals
Deep crater on centerline
Half moon is half lit
Gray tabby cat hides
Half looks at me with one eye
Wanders on sidewalk
Fallen bird nest torn
Attaches to grass and weeds
Fine twigs are stuck there
Heat wave is coming
Horizon seeks time of day
Sunsets - pure beauty
Awesome turquoise sky
Bubblegum purple mountain
Color for my soul
