Six Haiku
great blue heron stands
motionless shadow watching
... nearby wild plums bloom
death shroud of white mist
borne on whisper-soft cat paws --
river valley morn
frost covers the earth
a lady draped in fine lace
beautiful and cold
night grieves loss of light
stars tentatively console
... unmoved, nighthawks dance
skeletal trees weep
world wrapped in cold bleak winter
.. my heart walks alone
redtail hawk sits, blinks
mouse scuttles, gathering seeds
... somewhere a heart breaks
-- Grady Manus
