Seven Haiku for the Pleiades

 

The seventh poem – think of the Subaru badge – is not seen. That thoughtful poem is the one you will write.

 

 

1.  Two Goddesses and a God Come to Visit

 

All in the same sky:

Luna, Venus, Jupiter

While the soft winds sigh

 

 

2.  Barefoot in the Stilly Dawn

 

Barefoot in the grass

Eyes to the east, the stilly dawn

The stars have withdrawn

 

.

3.  Dachshunds on Their Dawn Patrol

 

Every dachshund thinks

That she is a timber wolf -

Perhaps it is so

 

 

4.  Summer Lingers

 

Yes, summer lingers

Crickets sing throughout the night

Their October hymns

 

 

5.  A Prison Visit

 

The horizon has no meaning

If the prisoners look up -

Concertina wire

 


6.  The Prayers of Planets and Stars

 

The planets and stars

Need not our prayers; they never sinned -

Do they pray for us?
