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The stars have withdrawn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?
