Fortitude haiku

 -------Fortitude haiku-------

From the dry red earth,

From the river

to the sea,

Poppies will blossom.

Consequence haiku

 -------Consequence haiku-------

With tractors 

and greed

Settler armies 

clear 

the land.

Bare soil

grows weeds.

The Thaw haiku

 -------The Thaw haiku-------

Springs seed 

is calling

Through frozen ground 

it's growing

Those who care 

listen.

Evergreen haiku

 -------Evergreen haiku-------

Back

in evergreen

Where wind sings

the ocean through

Cedar bows

and fir.

-------

River

 -------River-------

Stray, 

youngblood,

from the beaten path

And let your way 

be fluid.

Meander stones,

hop banks 

and borders,

Flood 

the famished valleys.

Take back what is yours,

your mind

your body

And ride it

to the Sea.

Community haiku

 -------Community haiku-------

Do not 

be afraid

Of this world 

falling 

apart.

Listen 

to the birds

To springtime

Telling us, 

"Believe

In yourselves."

-------

What If

 -------What If-------

A child's eyes 

see clearly

The Truth 

before they're hidden

By fear 

it might 

Incite 

a question

And break 

the world wide open.
