In the pond, a dragonfly is teaching small fishes surfing
On the bank, my thought is attempting to Knit a net
To catch them

butterfly, drink, home, insect, nature, old, tree, water,
wings of gossamer
gently pulsating the air
butterflies in flight
tail of dragonfly
skimming the water's surface
while taking a drink
bark of an old tree
weather-beaten and furrowed
a home for insects

Of the butterfly’s beauty;
Dreams of painted wings.

Categories:
desire, destiny, dream, life, loneliness, longing, love,
The broken wings of
an emperor dragonfly.
Surprise feast for ants.
Fallen from his dreams
reached realities,
now working harder.
with shattered love life,
she took human services,
many lives salvaged.

Categories:
beauty, color, moon, nature, song,
scatterer of blooms
on the green everywhere lanes
mother of colors
in dark yellow dawn
or purple pansy dusk robed
in butterfly swarms
mother by blue lakes
in a green fascinator
with dragonfly queen
oh mother of song
fresh from saffron southern skies
moonlight's in your hair

Categories:
nature
clouds dark and heavy
sit on the oak studded hills
frogs croak in the pond
spring rain falls teasing
lacy blue patches open
dragonfly settles
sun shines on puddle
faint rainbow arcs in distance
old bucket rusting
For the haiku crazy contest...
