Three Haiku

I have written a number of haiku over the last few years.  Here are three of these poems.

Haiku #1: An Unexpectedly Cold Summer's Day

The sun's cheery light

North view from Riansares Mountain, Clinton County (1)

Cannot seem to warm the wind
A cold rain portends

Haiku #2: The Bird Waits

Standing, not moving
Plumage - a swirl of colors
The bird is ready

Haiku #3: A Storm in the Ocean

An eerie silence
A scent of ozone portends
Dark skies and large waves

-- Anthony Hopper
