Haiku by JALO Nicolet Forest, Wisconsin (Evening)
On his way to bed, Down among tall grass, The sun has scattered clothing. Dragonflies!
------------------- (Dusk)
High in the pines A red squirrel makes his way across the sky. A panic moon!
------------------- (Nightfall)
As the trees lose color, Up and down the river Crazy coyotes call each other.
---:---
Cascading from their shelter, Bats first fall, then rise----- Then they too seek the river.
-------------------
( Rainy Spring night, 40 west.)
Striped Morning Sphinx. (Celerio lineata)
In my lights A hawk moth lingers, Its tongue tip in-- pinkness. Oh! Not a flower! A run-over frog!
--------------------
( Moonlight & Calm. 1)
Myriad upright spindles of mist! (An army of ghosts of dwarves?) So slowly they march! ---
-------- (Do I dream?)
---------------------
(Moonlight & Calm. 2)
Across a sea of mist all Moonlit in the crystal air: Antlered deer heads sail serene.
----------------------
( Pinewaters, 1950 (1))
Storm gone.-- Green dawn.-- Wet rain just falling.---- All the works of man,- -----Dissolving.
-------------------
( Pinewaters, 1950 (2))
Here is hereafter Finer than any told: Deep--- Forest--- Mold.
-----------------
( A Wisconsin road 1963)
The long dead crow Still lifts one wing! ----In wry salute to each passing car!
------------------
The Loon (1969)
Red of eye. And mad of cry. This harlequin's a diver-- As am I.
------------------
North Pacific, (1953)
Day after day of snow, Dropping on the black, black sea! --- Will there be drifts?-- below?
------------------
Advice for naturalists:
Two eyes,-- All creatures sense and fear! So close one eye If you'd come near.
