On this cicada-summer night
we are all guests of the moon


tall and stately
secret wisdom
of  the ages
oak forest


'endless' mountains
dancing in and out
of the Autumn mist


Love has left
now all roads
lead to the past


October morning
clouds behind clouds
in an endless sky


Summer dawn
the sheen of dew
on tall grasses


Summer midnight
a blue moon swims
this lake of dreams

Like the syllable count throughout these segments of the whole poem.

~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~

for me ... standard/traditional (5/7/5) Haiku syllables is generally too limiting.

Thanks JM !

I've generally found the short Zen poetry harder to write well than the long poems, etc.
