    As The Wind Blows

    seven broken jars
    red barn full of dead tractors
    night, brightest full moon

    Wilderness Found

    blue sky, whitest clouds
    old trail, ancient woods burnt
    empty house, sad scene

    Twenty-one Scenes Of Life And Poetic Thoughts


    Robert J. Lindley, 4-01-2019
    Note: These were written and not presented here until now. I do so enjoy writing Haiku. A challenge writing in such few words yet capturing a scene, a memory and piece of life and then casting it upon paper. I hope you may enjoy these as much as I did in the composing of them.
    Twenty-one Scenes Of Life And Poetic Thoughts

    That Resplendent Scene

    winter white landscape
    frozen limbs on ancient trees
    old snowshoes ready

    Fleeing Visions

    dark shadows, death waits
    sun burst upon bright new dawn
    moonlight on lake shore

    Robert J. Lindley,
    Haiku, 7-09- 2017

    Beautiful

    two dogs fast asleep
    clouds in a dark stormy sky
    dawn's breeze soothes the soul

    Robert J. Lindley,
    Haiku, 5-08-2018

    Time, And Reality

    old dry riverbed
    broken limb, hard frozen ground
    sun-perch, ocean breeze

    Haiku, 5-30-2018

    As The Wind Blows

    seven broken jars
    red barn full of dead tractors
    night, brightest full moon

    Time and Its Sad Afterglows

    porch swing, one old dog
    green pasture and fallen barn
    dawn's light, empty house

    Robert J. Lindley,
    Haiku, 6-11-2018

    As The World Turns

    dawn's break, fallen bird
    sunset, distant hills aglow
    midnight news report

    Robert J. Lindley,
    Haiku, 6-13-2018

    Where Light and Dark Part

    windows, light fading
    bright altar set to atone
    dusty red crossroads

    Robert J. Lindley,
    Haiku, 6-17-2018

    An Ancient Image

    shadow at the door
    field crop of long golden grains
    fast horse, no saddle

    Robert J. Lindley,
    Haiku, 6-21-2018

    Solitude And Time's Slow Arc

    two cats, one dead mouse
    empty white wagon, blue house
    sunset's reddish glow

    Life Views

    high trail, rocky ledge

    Things That Truly Delight

    hot cup of coffee
    noon sun, flower blossoms red
    moon, sky gleaming bright

    Haiku,

    Seen And Unseen

    new birth, its beauty
    sorrows darkest shadow shown
    ancient forest burned

    Haiku,

    Seen And Noted

    short sunset shadows

    well trodden game trail
    ancient trees towering tall
