Mark Scrivener Poetry Blog No 107 Three Summer Haiku


THREE SUMMER HAIKU

         In the Northern hemisphere in many places as Christmas approaches winter is reaching its deepest point. However, despite Christmas cards with reindeer and snow, in Australia it is hot and getting hotter. Here are three brief moments from a summer day.




THREE SUMMER HAIKU





one

Crow feather, black in
Summer-green grass. Once wing-glide,
Shed, still, bound to earth.






two

Hot sun. On sky blue
High gum-leaves day-glitter.
Later night-cool stars. 






three

Frangipani flowers-
White, yellow-centred, shining light,
Perfume air's still heat.
