Haiku 5 - Mournful Cries, Way of Nature, Flight Into Eternity
mournful cries fill the air
mother bird calling for its baby
eaten by the cat
mantis catches butterfly
I am sad: yet, that is
the way of nature
loud feathered thud
- flight into eternity
deceptive glass pane

Haiku 8 - Bees and Butterflies, Ants In Action, Shimmering Pools
what new plant is this
flowering bees this morning
and butterflies too?
running to and fro
a group of ants in action
searching for food
bathed in the sunshine
shimmering pools of water
pulsating with life

Haiku 11 - Butterflies, Dragonfly, Old Tree
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

Haiku 10 - Tree Lizard Puffing Chest, Fireflies Dancing, Buzzing Bee
perched on the branch
tree lizard puffs up its chest
like a balloon
dancing in the dark
fireflies paint lines of light
in exquisite designs
a buzzing bee
the sleeping dog awakens
then bolts from the room
