South India Haiku

Posted on July 9, 2020 by B Gourley

tall grass walking —
waves of grasshoppers
take the lead

one droplet
clings to the drooping point
of a leaf’s tip

red fire ball,
rising over broken
boulder lands

egret & ox,
patrolling the fields – a
baffling pair

when scale fades —
granite dome – forest-fringed,
becomes rock in grass
