THANKFUL

HAIKU

Polished cutlery,

Set table, systematized-

Hands joined in prayer.

Cirrus clouds above;

Methodically aligned –

Encircled trees sway.

Purple evening sky;

Hue shadows periwinkles-

Leaves contain droplets.

Praying Mantis perched,

Vertically on gnarled tree –

Moth flies swiftly by.

Beyond the doorway,

Faint apparition appears –

The light bulb flickers…

Via green meadow,

Wild horses traverse pathway;

Dust plume arise.

Extended sea swell,

Conquers the placid Ocean –

Starfish lands on shore.
