Autumn In the Rockies

Selected Haiku

(C)2002 Rosemary J. Gwaltney

Brilliant sun dazzles
glow on mounting purple clouds
thunderhead afire

Last yellow rose nipped
from stem dainty deer munches
close to my window

Tractor’s hum bumbles
distant field’s dust billow crawls
driver coughs unheard

Barbed wire fence zigzags
carves pastureland from forest
scars on deer’s tan flank

Diamond strung threads
spider’s necklace drapes
stream’s slender neck

Lightning struck cedar
cracks alone twists black half falls
twenty years of moss
