Desert Haiku

[Stinkyfinger]

The scrub is anguished
Settled in austerity
Awaiting the rain

[mnaz]

as always

Just looking at that one and thinking of you

Tried to write a ku for years about the view from my windshiled going up a two lane black top road in New Mexico. The scenery looking a lot like that picture below.

snakes crossing in front of me like lightning

eyes on the road
snakey shadows streak
in bright sunlight

always wound up intellectualizing it

I like your haiku stinkyfinger
I think it is the real deal
simplicity

[mnaz]

the mind can't help doing something with it, the simplest morning light, or the most complex equation, can't help it. and the desert got to do what the desert got to do.

Fine, Stinkers, a perfect 5-7-5 classic haiku. I congratulate you and will now post MY Southwest Texas Sonoran Desert Sueku. (It's also a classic haiku, but there are too many definitions called "haiku" out there.) Sue♥♥♥

Indeed stinky, this really has a bite. Haiku kinda escapes me, but this really was in my face. Really like it.
