10 Haiku (June 16, 2023)

These are ten unconnected haiku I've recently written, in no particular order.

1
Empty, discarded
There sits the shattered vessel
No tears left to cry

2
The sun burns harshly
On both the vast desert sands
And the tundra snow

3
Trailing through the sky
Fiery eyes and razor teeth
Leading the night march

4
Crackling, cozy, crisp
A floating leaf is caught up
And lit by the fire

5
Peering and judging
So many eyes everywhere
Perceiving nothing

6
Through a pane of glass
Brilliant shades of colour
Can be clear as mud

7
The hostile terrain
Rigid, raucous, and radiant
Metal and concrete

8
Slick and serpentine
Vines wind up and up and up
To where green meets blue

9
Endless injuries
Scored deeply into the earth
Bleeding the future

10
Inside bone and wood
Rest effects a whispered song
A soundless chapel
