playing with Haiku

Prompted by Natalie Goldberg, a few attempts using the 5-7-5 format and other elements

light shines directly,
permeating the darkness,
on its heels, breath follows


determined ants march
the trail to their queen,
snow falls in darkness


The summer sun melts
flowers and grass weeps in pain,
Hope and joy hold hands


The spotted fawn rests
among the golden ripe wheat,
Life meets in the harvest


Trees sway in wind's might
Springtime roars and moves with strength,
Youth step into life


Nature calls to man,
the heart delighted, answers
pursuing freedom
