Haiku--By Martha Magenta--England

waxing gibbous
the rhythm of the baby's
heartbeat
____________

spring breeze
a maple stretches
to catch a kite
____________

empty beer cans
the conversation that seemed
so important
____________

refuge
we save and shelter 
fallen apples
____________

river by night
bathing in the moon
a silver bass
____________

    Dear Martha,
    These are wonderful!
    Love, in particular, the "silver bass" bathing in moonlight!

    Nice haiku. My favorite is the empty beer cans. So common in today's society and good observation of feelings.

      Thank you Barbara - that is the second haiku I have written about beer cans. They seem to feature firmly in the "natural" world these days :)
