    A Sad Look At Reality

    deep darkness abounds
    pit below bellows black mist
    silence, songbirds flee

    Robert J. Lindley, 9-06-2020
    haiku, ( ill the wind that now blows )



    Abbey my friend. Love your wonderful haiku!
    It stirred me to write... God bless...--Tyr

    Morning Scene, Nature Usual Path Taken

    winds whip fallen leaves
    morning birds, sit in silence
    car horn, distant sounds

    Wake Up!

    Black clad idiots abound
    Skies sooty with ash
    Silent majority awakens

    Couldn't remember rules, but this was skipping around in my head so here it is.
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.

    Couldn't remember rules, but this was skipping around in my head so here it is.
    I love it. Great poem and great imagery.
    Your poem has a syllable count of 7/5/9...
    Rule for a haiku is a syllable count of, 5/7/5
    I think yours is a very fine and creative poem that expresses a truth and does so with magnificent imagery and depths.
    I would not change it all if it was mine.
    As it stands so very well as is! ... A true pleasure to read.. -Tyr

    Scene, As Winter Hints At Coming

    Off To A Wonderful Start

    vacation relief
    dark, blown tire, long winding road
    trunk open, spare flat

    Robert J. Lindley, 10-09-2020
    Haiku



    Note:
    From a memory in 1977...
    Friend had borrowed my car a couple weeks before, had a flat
    after running over something in the road. Never informed me of that.
    So there I was on a long trip to my vacation spot. Broke down
    with two flat tires, at about 11 o'clock at night, on a deserted side road.
    Had to walk about 3 miles back to find a house with a light on and knock on the door to get help.
    I was lucky, an old man answered and instantly asked me if my car was pulled off of the road- I answered yes.
    He then said, come on in, sleep on the couch there until morning, we'll get up, have breakfast and then get you fixed
    right on up. Countryfolk, you gotta love 'em..
    Next morning true to his word. He took me to my car, we grabbed my flat spare , then went to the nearest town , nearest opened tire service center and they had me ready to go quickly. He then drove me back to my car and even thanked me for giving him something to do.
    As he lived alone(for the last 11 years he said), was 74 years old and was bored out of his mind.
    I have forgotten his last name but his first name was Paul.
    I then headed on to my vacation spot and met my girlfriend there as she drove in later that day.. -Tyr

    The guy was a one hundred percent true Southerner, ready to help a stranger in need,

    I offered to pay him but he adamantly refused. Simply told me to pass it on.

    (I.)

    Remembrance Of Youth

    frozen pond, rock fence
    fallen farmhouse, winter storm
    Nature waits and smiles

    haiku


    (II.)

    In The Silent Moonlit Forest

    first white blanket laid
    trees laden with white gleamings
    owl silently sits

    Haiku Triples


    Fall of 72'

    long, old rusty nail
    red barn in dire need of paint
    oak tree with old swing

    Robert J. Lindley, 11-10-2020
    haiku



    Summer of 73'

    midnight, candlelight
    eerie windblown window sounds
    bright rays, July morn

    Robert J. Lindley, 11-10-2020
    haiku



    Spring of 75'

    old lakeside cabin
    snow-white powder all around
    new deer tracks, old path

    distant hills, a smoky haze
    waves soak rocky shores

    haiku triples, a look back at life

    (1.)

    A Serene Scene

    old cabin and lake
    bright moonlight, soft crashing waves
    cool dawn, Nature rewards

    Robert J. Lindley, 11-26-2020

    (2.)

    The Separation

    bright frosty meadow
    stream teeming with rainbow trout
    city gutter grime

    Robert J. Lindley, 11-26-2020
    haiku


    (3.)

    On A Warming Spring Day

    small boy, brand new kite
    old man waiting at bus stop
    white trees, melting snow
