Along the Arroyo Mocho

March 1, 2021

by Marilyn J. Dykstra

The bright morning light

sprays a tall fountain

of blue fescue grass.

Sycamore Grove Park Haiku #4

by Marilyn J. Dykstra

Foggy walk at Sycamore Grove Park,

I listen to drumming.

A woodpecker hunting.

Sycamore Grove Haiku #5 March 2019

by Marilyn J. Dykstra

Tree branches blown bare,
My boots splash through mud puddles
And almond petals.

A Haiku Trilogy to Flight

by Marilyn J. Dykstra

Across clear blue skies,

Wings glisten in the sunlight:

A dragonfly glides by.

 

Across clear blue skies,

Wings flicker in the sunlight:

A lone bird flies by.

 

Across clear blue skies,

Wings spread wide in the sunlight:

A hawk soars up high.

Sycamore Grove Haiku #2

by MJD

Waiting for a truck,

We step off the path to smell

Sweet scent of crushed herbs.

Sycamore Park Haiku #1

by MJD

Peering from the bridge,

Deep into a rippling stream,

I watch fish shadows.

A Haiku Trilogy to the End of Summer

by MJD

Among parched brown grass,
Two pairs of color hover:
Butterflies mating.

42899364_2059532767419872_3450180751096545280_o

On a parched oak leaf,
Vermillion volcanoes erupt
From gall wasp larvae.

Against dull gray rock,
Flashes of red burst open:
Skyrockets in bloom.

Del Valle Haiku #3

by MJD

Before heading down,

I stop to tighten my boots

And hear birds chatter.

Del Valle Haiku #1

by MJD

Autumn rains pour down;

Everywhere green sprouts spring up,

Even through cow pies.

Sycamore Grove Park Haiku #3

by MJD

From black ashen earth

Soaked with recent autumn rains,

A green carpet sprouts.
