haiku: <br /> <br />canopy <br />leaves dance <br />with lights <br /> <br /> <br />poem: haiku quest - Dancing in Top Forms. <br /> <br />alluvial spreads <br />their fragrance <br />and colour <br />with the rain. <br />the river so clear <br />begins pouring <br />coffee out to sea. <br />the woody smell - <br />musk minus the <br />warm musculine trappings - <br />trail the paths, <br />as the trees <br />tickle visitors <br />with intermittent <br />cold droppings <br />from their leaves. <br />the fertile loose <br />alluvial trapped <br />in a cycle game, <br />from wood to fertiliser <br />and to wood again <br />feed millions <br />round the world. <br />just below the trees <br />if you rest and <br />watch upward, <br />you cannot help <br />entertained <br />by the dances between <br />the leaves and lights. <br />in top forms, the woods <br />reprise their cyclic dance <br />that sustains the world <br />over and over. <br />so much we owe to the woods <br />and soil, and the <br />mixture of soil and wood <br />since the dawn of light.<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiku-quest-the-woods-dancing-in-top-forms/
