Haiku--By Elizabeth Howard--United States

dark sky

for a fleeting moment

one faint star

_____________ 

evening in the meadow

sandhill cranes

dancing with the stars

_____________ 

morning walk

tinsels of mist rising

between the vibrant peaks

_____________ 

hailstorm ends 

a rumpled robin

hunkers on a post

_____________ 

nature drive

a wild turkey flies

across the windshield
