The praying mantis
Garbed in his fine greenery
Elegantly preys

Floating Seed

Seedling floats on air
Currents traveling to place
Where new life is born

Cottage

Cottage in the woods
Where birds sing their living songs
Place of solitude

Blade of Grass

Clean sweet fresh green smell
Of one tiny blade of grass
Feeding the earth's soul

Sun is Setting

Sun is setting low
My friend close your eyes and rest
Await the new dawn

Summer

Summer draws to close
As days get shorter the sun
Shuts it's sleepy eyes

Curling into nothingness
But beauty remains

Fields

Sun smiles down on me
Walking through the flower fields
Grass tickling my toes

Watching with wonder
The flower blossoms open
Fragrance fills the air

Carl Sagan Inspired Haiku #1 Star Dust

This Haiku is inspired by a quote from Carl Sagan. It comes from Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. He was so simply eloquent himself. I think I am going to do a series of them.

 Carl Sagan Quotes
"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can.
Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the
cosmos to know itself."





We of flesh and blood
See the vast wonder of space
We are star dust too

Sea Shells

Who lived in each one
Ripples of colored houses
My jewels of the sea

Her beautiful creations
Entering the world

Closed Eyes

Few men get to see
The beauty that is the world
Through foolish closed eyes
