  *AUTUMN OF HAIKUS*

With the smell 
of new-cut grass 
wafting in from outside,  

waiting alone in the great, 
oak-paneled library, 

the terrified Violetta thought 
once more of Doctor Ken, 

the man who had 
taught her how to feel. 

He was now, 
according to Countess Genevieve, 

a prisoner in the very castle 
he had once owned.

 

Then came the thud of fists, 
a muffled cry, 
fighting on the stairway, 

and she dropped the 
brimming wine glass 
heedlessly on the rug. 
He was here! 
“Our love will outlast eternity, 

my angel — my porcelain angel!”
 he boomed, oblivious of 
the lava-red eyes at the window, 

and as the truth — the whole truth 
slowly came home to her, 

she wordlessly let her body 
melt against his own.

A mother and child
Hear the movements of the earth,
Twilight is ending.

Eagles fly above
Weeping in forgotten lands,
An old day is gone.

The lucky youths play
As hopeful souls recline.
With swing on solid oak

Beneath the rooted grass,
Where tender sparrows furrow

Nesting pools of delight. 

And waiting old women

                                                               

  Feeling the warmth 

of the sunlight,   

Unseen by others.

''While the earth remains, 

seed time and harvest, 

cold and heat, 

summer and winter, 

day and night, 

shall not cease.”
