HAIKU

Yvonne Cabalona

 

first light
a bird stretches itself
into song
 
   
  pre-dawn bird
does it sing of the
setting moon?
   
cold wind . . .
brushing through the thickness
of my cat's fur
 
   
  hunter's moon
light seeps through dark
bamboo blinds
 
long-standing maple
sweeping leaves over a hump
on the driveway
