Secular Haiku, Part 1

I wrote the following Haiku through the writers' network that recently closed. The first two were originally published in November 2011. The last one was originally published in December 2011. All three follow the 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

I wrote "Lone Star November" after a steep temperature drop. "Chew Toy Joy" is about Mulder, my late German Shepherd mix. And "Open Air, Springtime" was inspired by a scene in a Kurosawa film.

I hope to publish another set of poems next Tuesday. God bless. Have a beautiful week.
                                   

Lone Star November
The drought continues.
Are the pipes insulated?
A cold front arrived.

Chew Toy Joy
Elderly canine,
energetic as a pup
in his last summer.




Open Air, Springtime
In the glass tea cup
cherry blossom reflections
dance on the water.
