Haiku

in the old forest
a woodpecker taps for worms –
far, a semantron

*

freshly fallen dew –
on the field of red poppies
a million suns

*

snow on the fir trees –
the hissing scintillation
of the hatchet’s blade

*

winter’s private stash
of sweet-scented summer dreams –
a frozen rosebud

*

on the wooden bridge –
snowflakes like cherry petals
swirling and swirling
