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
