haiku by Kayla

cemetery

at father's grave

an empty bench



gusty night

the sound of wind chimes

fills up the darkness



rainy day

seeing clouds drift

across the puddles



in the stillness

in the quiet

a lonely field



children off to college

a robins nest in the juniper

now empty



her beautiful dress unfolds

a red rose bud opens

in the side yard



cold morning

African violets bloom

in the warm window box



autumn soon ending

the weeds now withered

the trees now bare



bedroom window

seeing the pleiades

rise above the trees



end of autumn

seeing the squirrels carry leaves

back up the tree



autumn migration

the sound of geese

high overhead



suddenly

the dragon fly completely still

completely bronze



hanging in the shed

my childhood bugle

silent all these years



quiet night

the andromeda galaxy

now above our house



lonely white cat

out of the darkness

into the darkness



quiet house

i cannot find it

cricket with a loud voice
