brown water like the wide wide river

today in Pennsylvania, a bipartisan passing of two bills that support research as well as life with breast cancer; I guess haikus are not supposed to serve as news reporters; but on hearing this report at noon, three lines came to mind

haiku
x
1
slow nature inside
plants grow in unsure seasons
ours darkness or light
x
2
unsurely outside
winter by a calendar
summer another
x
3
creature on a branch
cardinal or squirrel set
then fly or skitter

(like those earlier, these haiku can relate to each other, though I doubt there is a rule about connection; or each haiku may stand alone, which I guess is more traditional)

haiku

1
twenty pages in
the need to gaze and breathe out
outside for elsewhere
x
2
city-wise black trees
darkened too the sky-wept street
nature go with tears
x
3
after rain is haze
exhale into clarity
newly gifts of night

haiku (3) after Hallowtide
x
x
seasons ending in
new seasons beginning to
take hold then let go
x
x
red leaves like children
bright and shiny always changing
into something else
x
x
evergreen until
needles wither due to lack
of water and air

a wintry morning
early in parts for winter
here and say morning
souls are trapped on Earth
not wanting release because
we like the cages
I’ll have Dylan rage
I will fight it ‘til I know
only relent’s left

Frank Families
(haiku)
They tried daylight ways
We wouldn’t let them go; we
Made them hide ’til found
