Calendar-Scenic America (Haiku Verses Each Month) Poem by Jim Norausky

Calendar-Scenic America (Haiku Verses Each Month)

Rating: 5.0


My wish for today:
that poet friends were viewing
this, coffee in hand.

January

Vibrant cherries shine
ice covered branches glimmer
muted background same.

February

Sun swept red mountains
guard crowded boat marina
masts and poles worship.

March

Angry beach and sky
huge wave crashing red lighthouse
birds, helical fence.

April

Legions of sunflowers stare
lifted on green leafed shoulders
stormy horizon

May

Whimsical lighthouse
atop bouldered barren hill
flanked by two small sheds.

June

Last light of sunset
paints quiet water mosaic
small sailboat silent.

July

Chocolate mountain
snow sprinkles and pine tree stands
field of orange flowers.

August

Two wierd cacti hands
pierce upside down flaming pit
desert sunset awe.

September

Mountain, lake couple
reflecting one together
blue sky intrudes.

October

Inferno color
autumn trees dazzle senses
old fence and field yield.

November

Sheltering pine limbs
frame small misty lake island
morning's golden light.

December

Classic large red barn
pine and young elm trees surround
snow on roof and yard.

My poet friends
may you have all life's blessings
and enjoy nature.

Wow! What a simply creative and wonderful idea to put Haiku to a Scenic American Calendar. January Haiku is exactly how I felt when I saw what you were doing. Each month you capture the mood of the photograph (I can't see them, but I know you are) . It is a masterpiece Jim. 10/10 Karin Anderson
