Peaceful is the dawn
Morning frost is hovering
Sunshine cuts the ice

Travellers back pack
The journey man’s companion
Australian true blue
On and on we go
We the mighty do venture
Above and beyond

Winter Diamonds
Winter Diamonds. A Haiku
Soft winter sunshine
The sky’s raining blue diamonds
Warms my fragile heart

Silently She Cries
On Weekly Prompts, the Wednesday challenge is: FOR THE BIRDS. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> HERE. The below Haiku, is my response to the prompt.
Silently She Cries
In the sky somewhere
There’s the old peace dove crying
In silence, she’ll die

Under Pressure
Here I’ve written a Haiku Trio, a poem consisting of three haiku stanzas
*Please note, the above photos, are scanned images, from the book in my personal library, called “Close To Nature”, by John Landy
Under Pressure
Bitter is the clown
A broken pepper stays down
Anger’s every town
Flames leap all around
Burning bridges to the ground
Hatred is the sound
High above the clouds
Songs echo under pressure
Screaming for new air
Ivor Steven (c) June 2020.
We Are The Greatest
Death is not our fault
Lets blame others for our shame
Scapegoats are great bait

Have We Learnt
Have We Learnt. A Haiku
Are we hand in hand
With hearts joined, ready to start
A new wisdom age

The Leaves Are Red
The leaves Are Red: A Haiku
A red leaf did fall
Warm autumn sun, struck and ran
Clouds darkened the ground

Us Robots
This Haiku was originally was written as a response to Brandi’s poem “Robots”, click on the link here >> https://couchtalksblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/robots/ , but alas there wasn’t a comment box with her article, so I’m presenting the Haiku here.
Us Robots, A Haiku
Us rusty humans
Need fresh air and oiling cans
Not more robot men

Primavera, Lyrics by Santana
Spring
Rain of sun
as a blessing
Life is reborn with its light
spring is here
all is like this
back to the root
time of unquiet youth
in spring already.
The black earth becomes green
and the mountains and the desert,
A beautiful garden.
As the seed
brings new life
there’s in this spring, a new era.
In the air of this new universe
today there is freedom
in spring already.
The black earth becomes green
and the mountains and the desert,
A beautiful garden.
As the seed
brings new life
there’s in this spring, a new era.
