Summer Observations In Haiku

By Christine Bruness
July 30, 2007




Haiku #231

Sunset Beach at dusk
shiny black kitten appears
from the weed filled dunes


Haiku #331

San Francisco night
faint sounds of a boat party
roll across the bay


Haiku #482

ocean swim at dawn
loud calls from the laughing gulls
sound like children’s cries


Haiku #484

Summer thunderstorm
house cat hides under the bed
with the spaniel


Haiku #483

Summer afternoon~
resting on a yellow rose
a black butterfly!


Haiku #492

St. Martin’s nude beach
people, all shapes and sizes
celebrate their flesh


Haiku #493
Atlantic Ocean
it gives…and it takes away
gives and takes away


Haiku #505E

Swarms of white & gray
gliding into the twilight
sky of laughing gulls


Senryu # 580

On the beach at dusk,
mist rising from the ocean
looks like dancing ghosts.


Haiku # 611B

Peony garden~
lush pink petals in full bloom
this summer afternoon


Haiku #670

Foggy summer dawn…
smell of coffee quickly drifts
across the beach camp


Haiku #560

Black & white kitten
basking in a sunny spot
beside the fishpond


Haiku # 643B

July afternoon
curled up by the flower pot
a white-footed tabby


Haiku #15

Mammoth sunflowers,
bathing in the warm sunbeams
…bulldozers nearby.


Haiku #638B

Deserted ghost town
a faded community
lingers in the dust
