Rain splashes gently

On the moist sodden meadow

A songbird still sings

 

Warmth of the moon's light
Wind blows on a summer's night
Love is in the air 

 

Chills replace the warmth
Brisk autumn wind weakens trust
Doubt engulfs the mind 

 

Harsh and cold as ice

Suspicion turns to hate

Snow stained with crimson.

 

How tempted am I
To write a haiku about
The Four Seasons band

 

Frankie Valli and
The Four Seasons are a great
Band to write about
 


The author's comments:

Written in freshman year as an English poetry assignment, these haikus were simple and pleasurable to create. I had fun with each one of them, especially the final two, which were far more humorous than the actual seasonal poems. Each true seasonal haiku was inspired by a piece of a short story I was writing at the time, which has since become a major work of mine. I hope that readers may receive the same feelings of tranquility and peace I did while working on these poems.
