    I previously had presented the wrong version-- the one with the wrong syllable count.
    Got mixed up because I had gotten a long phone call about an old friend that is very ill.
    Forgot to grab the newer, edited version to present. My bad. Sorry.
    The first unedited version was my original brain child thought but it did not meet accurately
    the 5-7-5 syllable count needed to be a true haiku.
    18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

    Fantastic Day In June Many Decades Ago

    breakfast, coffee, toast
    morning rays, front porch ablaze
    bright moonlit window

    A Season In 1975

    lake, fish, cool waters
    forest trail, long summer day
    snow white city streets

    Triple haiku's


    When Life Looks Above The Dusty Ground

    ancient worn trial
    mountain cabin far above
    thunder, cloudy skies

    Robert J. Lindley, 6-06-2020
    haiku



    Hope In A Fisherman's Heart

    sunken boat, lake view
    canes and bank, heavy waves meet
    red sun and shadows

    Robert J. Lindley, 6-06-2020


    When Mother Nature, Looks On

    stop sign, empty street
    city skyscrapers, teeming crowd
    lonely fox sees all

    Memories And Past Scenes

    bright white winter snow
    cloud covered hills far below

    Haiku-Triples,
    (Poems Born From Seeking Nature's Golden Treasures)



    In Mother Nature's Garden

    blue sky and noon sun
    flowing stream bubbling along
    campfire, fish dinner

    Robert J. Lindley, 6/14/2020
    Haiku



    As Nature's Treasures So Gift

    morning, deep forest
    mother doe, new fawn nearby
    sunrise and beauty

    Robert J. Lindley, 6/14/2020
    Haiku



    When Nature Sings Its Soft Tunes

    willows bending low
    leaves falling to virgin ground
    clear lake, fish flopping

    Robert J. Lindley, 6/14/2020
    Haiku



    Note: These poems are born from a time
    and a place in my youth that I once so
    dearly loved to visit. Now four decades
    later, I wonder would I ever see the same...

    light of ashen sky
    moon shadows and teardrop rain
    sunrise, dawn waking

    (Haiku Triples)

    Views From Four Decades Ago


    old dusty cabin
    tree stump, beaver, sun bathing
    owl sleeping next door


    moss covered log
    cool breeze and summertime swim
    clouds holding off rain


    sidewalk, dark city
    large house with seven gables
    lonely red-brick lane

    Robert J. Lindley, 7-23-2020
    Haiku, ( From dreams once dreamed to stark realities of time's march )
