 snowman melts away
black bears eat salmon upstream...
dandelions bloom

salmon leaping high
up the waterfalls to spawn
sadly then you die

Salmon HAIKU ©

Salmon swim up stream
Battling against being killed
Womanlike she fights! 

Didee

The journey upstream,
A chance to deliver life;
Swimming to the death.

in gurgling rapids
salmon jump ladders
 ~ grizzlies feasting

Eight months in a cave
Hunger games in nature
Atlantic salmon at river mouth

Wanting salmon now
Soft paw pads caress my face
Melting I spoil her.

Pill bugs wet with dew
as crawling gray domes mirror
green turf, salmon sun.

Copter seeds whirling,
a squirrel chases paper
treasure for her nest.

Young cat mock-tweeting,
wily sparrows unheeding,
paws press on the screen.

Eagle carves the wind 
Talons flashing in the sun
Fat spawning salmon

grizzlies and browns
salmon run ~~~~
hibernation falls

bears wait in the river
salmon jump the fast rapids
suppers ready now

cubs getting hungry
salmon swimming up the stream
easy catch for bear

freshwater river
spawning salmon swim upstream ~
fishermen await

enervating stream
colorful salmon spew roe
brown bears cast their nets

River flows wildly
Salmon swim upstream to spawn
I’ll throw in my line

She walks out the door
no gesture of any kind...
pink salmon for tea.

    rose tinged tangerine
leaps upon an ocean wave…
         salmon sunset 

stream teems with salmon
spawning new generation
hurdling paws of death

kayak adventure
served with savory salmon —
spoilt by Skagway

salmon leap to life
death is inevitable
cycle completed

God Grew Salmon Fish

God grew salmon fish
Which was a delicious dish
Have some more we wish

This is Horn Haiku with a
5-7-5 vowel rhythm.

Christ Gave Us Chance To Enhance Plants 

Christ gave me a chance
To enhance all of my plants
Free from sin and ants

Jim Horn

summer solstice shines
silver salmon swim upstream
exiting with eggs

      a sockeye salmon

leaps into the jaws of death ~ 

   bear yawning upstream

tree leaves
rustle in breeze-
cardinal

wings
fluttering above-
cottony clouds

owl
landing in an oak-
mouse scurries

leaves
floating on the wind-
deer running

water
trickles in the distance-
salmon leaps

spawning salmon leap
hungry bears feast greedily
cold raging river

salmon sky
clouds to west
rain

distant thunderheads
vast golden plains turned cold gray~
wild horses run free

torrential rain storms
rivers overrun leveys~
bears feast on salmon

cool morning drizzle
freezing announces winter~
cocoons await spring

salmon swim sideways
      while nature does take its course
      to start of each branch
