Haiku Group 2

lizard looks around
in slow movements discrete
but fast on its feet

Face remembers fingered
furrows drawn ready
for seeds of emotion

atwitter and aflitter
tree to tree they zip
spring spirits high

Sprayed Urban code
Strange new alphabet
Bright silent cries

it presses on my brain
encases my nerves 
heat at the century mark

Inductive thought
cannot be reduced to
thin silken thread

winter's pale light
different than spring's
even when air is mild

what was it I lost
this package I still seek
is it fruitless?

new love a bright bloom
an annual or perennial
planted in good soil?

its but a small toy
out-of-tune faded paint
still so special

pictures capture
pause in time you click
then time resumes

garden paths paved
with new fallen petals
soothe achy souls

breeze ruffles petals
wafts in fragrant pollen
to tickle my nose

only by the questioner
can some questions
be effectively answered

beginning hike I see
climbers cling on rockface
much later, same place

Rewinding life
seems a dangerous idea
what will you see?
