May

Fiddlehead, Fiddlehead, Fiddlehead

Watch you grow

Up from the ground

Watch you go

These things are found

In a perfect spiral flow

Fiddlehead, Fiddlehead, Fiddlehead

Watch you grow

 

 

February

A big log lies

in  a frozen river

We must devise

A way to cross the water

Aha! The log!

We get by with a little

help from our friend – the log.

 

 

December

A downed tree – over water

     Deep dark water

Pulling my – body across

          Murky water

Stormy Grey – clouds above

                Please Do Not Fall

An insect – he scurries

                     I inch along

Nervously – Carefully

                           Please Do Not fall

The Water – oh so cold

                                    I inch along

In order – to feel safe

                                           Please Do not fall

Why did I wear a tie?

 

November

 

Haiku: The River

A Growing River,

Covering the mud and tracks,

Really hard to cross.

 

Haiku: The Beaver

A tree without bark,

At the base around head height

A beaver was here.

 

Haiku: Unknown Shrub

Hello mister shrub,

What kind of species are you?

Maybe poison ivy…
