Witching Hour Haikus

night steals light
from the moon --
witching hour

witching hour --
street lights shadows
lengthen and disappear

moon hides her face
in the bosom of the night --
witching hour

Dreaming of Haiku

I dreamed of haiku last night and I wrote and rewrote them in my sleep (sigh).

(not really haiku)
pond without frog
is
hai without ku

praying mantis
suddenly soars--
crow's snack

clouds release
snowy gifts --
tree bows

spiders weave
new webs --
spring cleaning

Spring

Senryu?

drill sings
bites and spits
dentist smiles

fat and round
sluicing down
duckling rain
