Then three little rhythmic lines-
Arise on their own-

Spring is fighting back
Powerful frigid north winds
Wintery black clouds
Sleet headlong driving-
Spring rains and biting north wind-
Thaws outlast winter-

“Wild Turkey”
MHaikuPoetry 2018
Through higher learning-
Realizations unfold-
How little we know-
“Sunning” 2018 MHaikuPoetry
Today’s turkey is strutting
With total loss between the ears
Tomorrow’s tom elusive
And for months he disappears
But when the hens are willing
There will be no turn from that
But when he’s done with diddle
He’ll have the skylight at his back

Old man winters wife-
Being overdue with child-
Last night delivered-

Dipping touch of toes-
Wading diving swim shivers-
Thrashing breathless heart-
Cool upriver breezes-
Chilling bones frigid retreat-
To warm fires and friends-
Torrents high wind rain-
Swells and troughs below chopped seas-
Face the stinging mist-

Splendid daytime tints
Blossoming nature yearns
Stretching to the light

Berberidaceae-
Mahonia aquifolium-
Frigus pertulerit-
Northwest Oregon grape-
Genus of a holly-
Endured the long cold-
