Haiku #1
Mountains are massive
Chunks of granite, stone and shale
Specks in the distance
Haiku #2
Most caves are empty
They used to have life; from the
Drawings on the wall
Haiku #3
There is a science
To the walls of art of the
Cave in the mountain
Haiku #4
Stories of the past
Are portrayed on the cave wall
They do not make sense
Haiku #5
I try to make sense
Of this writing on the wall
I can’t; I’m blinded
Haiku #6
A seed is planted
In the garden it grows while
The sun’s rays shine down
Haiku #7
The seed buds into
A stem that grows into a
Beautiful flower
Haiku #8
The flower is seen
By a pollination bee
Pollination starts
Haiku #9
The pollinated
Flower is mature and is
Ready to release
Haiku #10
The garden is filled
With more seeds and plants so that
The cycle repeats
Haiku #11
The river flows fast
Yet it has a calming sound
A soothing white noise
Haiku #12
Upon the river
Floats a boat into the moat
Of tranquility
Haiku #13
The raft approaches
And then, it swiftly dodges
The hanging tree branch
Haiku #14
The river carries
The boat downstream in the night
The crickets are loud
Haiku #15
The raft lands ashore
The traveler has finished
His river journey
Haiku #16
The wildlife is
Quite abundant in these woods
Even when you sleep
Haiku #17
Lying there, awake
Something made you wake, and break
The silence of night
Haiku #18
You stare into the
Darkness of midnight, and see
A form creeping: close
Haiku #19
You run like all hell
Yet, you cannot seem to tell
Just where the beast is
Haiku #20
You are now cornered
The beast is here; you pray that
This is a nightmare
Haiku #21
The beast goes to kill
Its teeth are bloody, and its
Intentions are ill
Haiku #22
The beast lets loose a
Howl that echoes into the
Starry night canvas
Haiku #23
As the beast lunges
And spittle flies from its maw
The young man screams
Haiku #24
As the beast makes the
Final leap for its prey – a
Loud bang: and it dies
Haiku #25
The protagonist
Looks, and cries in relief; for
His father saved him
