As The Ill Wind Blows
day is night, night gleams
black curtains, horrendous scenes
train wreck, tragedy

Note:
In the midst of darkness, a false light
beckons "ships" to their doom.

Going Fishing
cool soft earth, bare feet
morn's dew glistening bright, bright
old farm, memories

Recalling a weekend fishing experience that a
young lad once had. And how fast life flies...

A Winter Night At The Old Cabin
white banks, frozen stream

full moon smiling down

Back When Youth And Life Was Simpler
old rusty bucket
sunny day, red barn, tin roof
stroll down trodden path
Robert J. Lindley, 5-22-2021
haiku
Note-
Back In The Autumn Of '73
Born from a memory this scene
rooster crowed, the peacock's preen
set the stage for a summer trek
hope alive, but barely a speck
and life its great mysteries hid
auction on, I made my first bid.
Discovery was the youthful aim
life was then thought to be a game
yet world had far different plan
to educate with pain this man
and that by way of a love lost
coming as flowers fear the frost.
What was sent was taken away.
Agony lives until this day.
R. J. Lindley

Hi Robert!
Can you explain why you sometimes like to use opposite imagery in your Haiku? Like snow and summer sun in one Haiku. You know I like to write these too, and I’m always looking to learn.
