THIRD PLANET FROM THE SUN:
an Earth Day Haiku Collaboration

this is island Earth
we need to learn its rhythms
live on island time

…

"in the beginning..."
the first view of our Mother
leaves us without words

…

For shame, for shame...
hibernation
mama bear wakes
to two gunshots

…

city dandelions
nature will not
be denied
--Ardelle Ray, USA

❧✿❧

How tiny earth is
How big the naked ape's mind
Will he destroy this globe?

…

horses wandering
green and untouched prairie plains
munch blooming flowers

…

monarch butterflies
fluttering across the yard
Is spring here so soon?
--Chelle Baratta-Angelini, USA

❧✿❧

spring puddle
my puppy learns
the word jump
--Chrissi Villa, USA

❧✿❧

bird watching. . .
around a new stump
tiny trees
--Djurdja Vukelic-Rozic, Croatia

❧✿❧

Earth Day
without the missiles and
of refugees
--Gennady Nov, Russia

❧✿❧

clear day
clouds of Sahara Dust -
a rain mirage

…

concrete silhouettes -
lingering orange sunset
in span of earth's spin

…

put an end to this
bombs used to hurt each other -
let peace reign instead
[also posted to The Haiku Foundation- Earthrise rolling collaborative haiku 2017]

...

aged grey -
the brick wall where
three grackles rest

...

Champs-Elysées ~
fresh wounds to planet Earth
only peace can heal
--gillena cox; Trinidad and Tobago

❧✿❧

busy city street -
blackbird sings
regardless
--Juliet Wilson, UK

❧✿❧

all round the earth
enjoying colors and perfumes
I feel at home
--Nicole Pottier, France

❧✿❧

Mother Nature's garb
in tatters from abuse...
needs an Earth Day mend

...

Mother Nature
in her greenest garb...
Earth Day
--Pat Geyer, USA

❧✿❧

Earth day
Loving
Our mother
--Shanna Baldwin, Hawaii

❧✿❧

full moon
a tree silhouette
holds the last star

…

spring rain
each leaf
a moon bath
--Vibeke Laier, Denmark
