Medley of Haikus

Gardens(Triple Haiku)

now open your eyes
see the beauty around you
the gift nature gives

puzzle mind wanders
star lights shine amid the green
fragrant candles bloom

behold the vista
showcase of countless beauty
heaven and the earth

Sunset(Double Haiku)

vesper mist rises
with its cascadubg beauty
dusk blankets the land

chorus of insects
sing their operatic songs
the world's lullaby

Praying Mantis(Triple Haiku)

with a floral stance
silently I bow my head
for insects I prey

the insectivore
stilt walks the entire land
preying and eating

on grass and flowers
these spiny-forelegs must rest
when I stalk to prey

The Beach
(Single Haiku)

that scenic picture
it's nature's watering pool
for tourists and me
