haiku poems by Kayla

lonely white cat

in and out

of the darkness



lush green grasses

seeing a box turtle stuck

under an iron gate



creek alive with minnows

a large dead carp floats

near the bank



fishing

dragonflies landing

on reed and rod



my coffee cup

watching a bug swim

across the clouds



hawk overhead

sparrow feathers blow across

the river rocks



dark woodland

mayflies swarm

in bright rays of sunshine



dark woods

the bright flash of fireflies

everywhere



motorcycle girls

seeing girls in skirts and heels

walking down the street



loud argument

hearing the quiet voice

of a chickadee



waiting for you

a full moon rises

above the poplars



sidewalk

a worm's smooth body

wiggles through rough stones



summer afternoon

hearing cicadas

starting and stopping



viewing the stars

bright car lights sweep

across the lawn



summer night

hearing distant traffic noise

and frogs croaking



so silent

party balloons drifting

overhead



through the telescope

the beautiful double star

beta cygni



lonely park bench

a girl watches

the boys hangout



giant oak

beneath huge branches

a tiny acorn



enjoying the quiet

a clap of thunder

shakes the house



break in

a squirrel chewing

a hole in the trash can



radio antenna

ants climb the long wire

some going up some down



not welcomed

the large black hornet

on our white curtains



unexpected

a heavy blanket of rain

floods the street



flower box

a squirrel

taking a dirt bath



big timber creek

the incoming tide

consumes the land



taking a bath

sparrows

in the sand box



behind the reeds

a small pond

of croaking frogs



campfire

snapping and cracking

my thoughts



the campfire out

ashes blow in the wind

my lost sister



pulling and begging

at the end of a leash

the dog's owner



campfire

faces dance around

our circle



low tide

a minnow swims a puddle

left in mud



daily greeting

pulling and jerking a chain

the neighbor's dog
