Hugh Cobb - Five Haiku

1. Celestial Delight

On a moonless night
stars enter sky through clouds:
celestial delight.

2. February Flowers

Winter trees shiver with
wind, branches dropping snow crystals:
February flowers.

3. Butterfly's Light Touch

Broken twigs crunch
beneath heavy feet, lacking
butterfly's light touch.

4. Puma at 2: 00 am

At two a.m. mother
puma stalks slowly on roadside:
dangerous grace in motion.

5. Bleeding Poppies Bloom

Low on horizon
red moon looms, lacking pity:
bleeding poppies bloom.
