birch


i

one by four the breeze
loosens wings from tall white limbs
butterflies in flight


ii

five by ten the winds
scatter yellow shades of brown
silent through the air


iii

more by many gusts
flurry golden buri fans
lightly to the loam



In a list

    loved sum totaly

    really good / I liked them.
    question? I read somewhere,that a senryu' was like a bad haiku, because though it has the same 3 line form of 5,7,5 - nature is not the essence / rather the relationship of man & woman with a touch of ironic sarcasim.
    Do you have any other references?

      Yea I never really noticed them until I came to live in a house right near a small stand. They are lovely trees.

    Love it! How you flowed each piece together, even though each haiku is a great poem on it's own. Nice work

      Glad you enjoyed. Somehow I find I like trying to write small sets of haiku that interlock in various ways.
