Summer Fluff [Haiku]

gone to fluff:
flowers quietly await a
good, stiff breeze.

Petal Drop [Senryū]

dogeared petal 
can take no more --
flutters in a gust.

Dancing Daisies [Haiku]

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

Solitary [Haiku]

solitary flower
bows in a Spring breeze --
then stands upright.

“I fear’d the fury of my wind” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

I fear’d the fury of my wind
Would blight all blossoms fair & true,
And my sun it shin’d & shin’d,
And my wind it never blew.

But a blossom fair or true
Was not found on any tree;
For all blossoms grew & grew
Fruitless, false, tho’ fair to see.

“The Aim Was Song” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]

Before man came to blow it right
The wind once blew itself untaught,
And did its loudest day and night
In any rough place where it caught.

Man came to tell it what was wrong:
It hadn’t found the place to blow;
It blew too hard—the aim was song.
And listen—how it ought to go!

He took a little in his mouth,
And held it long enough for north
To be converted into south,
And then by measure blew it forth.

By measure. It was word and note,
The wind the wind had meant to be—
A little through the lips and throat.
The aim was song—the wind could see.

Foul Wind [Lyric]

Trees are wagging,
Whipping, and waving
That were still but
A moment ago.
Dark clouds snuck in
With pattering rain,
But, oh, how those
Foul winds do blow!

Sound & Silence [Haiku]

crisp leaves rattle in a gust, 
but a chipmunk climbs in silence.

Winter Song [Haiku]

dry leaf rattle:
shaken by a steady breeze:
Winter song.

Gust [Haiku]

gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?
