My Haiku

1. Bright stars wax and wane
   A weary moth is drawn to...
   Each in its own time
   
   
2. Long mountain's shadow.
   Black sea: a hidden pasture.
   Moon silvers the mist.
   
   
3. Sun in old ma's eyes.
   As fading light fails, this fear:
   the impending night.
   
   
4. His naked wife sleeps
   still, but for her breath, out and...
   in...he is inhaled.
   
   
5. Toasty pile of cats.
   Wind shifts whose tail?
   Now whose ear?
   Winter brings fast friends.
   
   
6. Betta in a bowl.
   Resting on a leaf, content.
   His bubble nest waits.
   
   
7. Where the spring begins—
   deep within the clutch of Tartaros—
   immaculate lust.
   
   
8. The three light fixture.
   Two bulbs, one odd, one missing.
   Corrupt symmetry.
   
   
9. She heeds the child's cry.
   Second, grumbles, "Why bother?"
   First, knows the answer.
   
   
10. This dish is clean.
    This dish is not very clean.
    I, warden, inspect.
    
    
11. Fixed but elusive:
    no words, no image tells true
    these Smoky Mountains.
    
    
12. To know. Breath to death
    the bliss of Geb and Nuit
    sky yearns, earth regrets.
    
    
13. Crash! The willows whip.
    Cottonwoods sway and flurry.
    Quick! Get under ground.
    
    
14. Damselflies escape
    Out, onto the scalded rim.
    Dead sea reservoir.
