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
   the moon silvered 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
