ARTS: Haiku prompt: spring/fall

[Heiso]

A few I've been playing around with recently :

Skimming stones,
My daughter shrieks
Sun on the lazy river.

Dragonflies
In the sun
Dancing on the river.

We wait
Will baby come today?
Spring into summer.

Heiso,

Such lovely haiku! In particular, I love the parallel images in the last one where you compare/contrast the transition of the seasons with the anticipated birth of a child. Just wonderful!


Here's a new one that "interrupted" my reading the other day that I think fits this thread:

reading Dogen—
old wind chimes
in the Spring breeze

Jundo suggested recently regarding my verbosity that in Zen less is often more. In the spirit of that teaching I thought I'd have a crack at Haiku. I haven't read the rule book but...

'The Game Changer'. Life?
Surely a bad joke on me.
Autumn sun Kinhin.

A few recent attempts here. Not sure even I appreciate them or whether they are even haiku. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Broken flowerpot
Tomatoes quiver
Before the North wind.

Swinging basket.
Dusk-drunk bats
Hunt their prey.

Swaying grass touches his heart.
Night has fallen.

I am trying to write a haiku (or very short poem) a day, here's a couple I wrote this week.

Green leafy branches
a framed black cat sits
underneath the pale August sun.

Toothless smile in clouds
the sun hides, the sunflowers
bow to the brown leaves.

Crunch—
Fallen leaves amidst mist.
The deep forest

falling leaves
drawing perfect circles
at the herons feet

Rising sun
Rays lost in thick fog
