Rain Dance [Haiku]

ripples dance
on a flooded paddy
as rain starts, slowly.

Dancing Daisies [Haiku]

bright flowers 
dance in a breeze,
beside the castle wall.

Bell Pavilion [Haiku]

Summer night: 
bell pavilion - silent,
but for cricket chirp.

Heron [Haiku]

a heron stalks
amid rice seedlings:
mild Summer day.

Empty Pasture [Haiku]

in woods' shade, 
cattle sit or stand, &
file barn-ward at dusk.

Heron at Dusk [Haiku]

dusky summer eve:
a heron wades in shallows,
blindly fishing.

Seaside Sunset [Haiku]

red-hot steel glow:
sun crawls toward
wine-dark seas.

Summer Fishing [Haiku]

long-tailed boat
chugs down the buoy-line:
Summer fishing.

Elephant’s Eye [Haiku]

crops hide the farmhouse,
but can't conceal distant mountains.

Is it sunset? Sunrise? Both? Neither? It was like this for an hour or so when I was in Finland during the Summer. Never getting fully dark.
