HAIKU on the subject of wildlife:

Iris leaves' masses
hide a jack rabbit sleeping;
bed of summer grass

tilled damp garden soil~
caterpillars and green beans
hanging on the vines

a roadrunner runs
in the wet sand of a tide;
tiny footprint trail

the first red rose bloom~
a burst of color beckons
two green hummingbirds

giant sunflowers
brightly waving in the wind;
the bumble bees swarm

an old garden fence~
honeysuckle's aroma
climbing trailing vines

bird's nest on the ground~
fragments of tiny blue eggs
scattered in the grass

a blue jay perches
on the weathered garden fence;
crepe myrtle blooms pink

white swans glide across~
still waters hide gold fish schools
a deer approaches

hollow in a tree~
baby squirrels tiny pink
nature's fragile birth

red oak leaf flutters
falling to the ground below;
a gentle rain comes

sea gulls' evening flight~
waters lapping the shore line
a blue heron hunts

green bullfrog hiding~
a hoot owl screeches loudly
stalking nightly prey

under a full moon~
coyotes call to spirits
eerie serenade

echos of the geese~
thick dark clouds of a fall storm
lone squirrel hides out

fall winds are blowing~
stallions running in morn's light
spirits united

damp carpets of leaves
red, brown and tattered slightly;
wood smoke in the air

bright red Cardinal
picking berries off the vines;
bumble bees protest

clear flowing waters~
nibbling school of gray minnows
flocked around cat tails

thick field of corn stalks
tempts groups of deer from the woods;
a cautious approach

shrieking call of fall~
blackbird in a cottonwood
gathers feathered friends
