Virgil Hutton's Haiku
Tractor
harvesting the wheat field--
trail of golden dust
Early Spring;
the sidewalk blooms
with crayon flowers
Southwind
blowing the snow
into the sea
Still beside
the grinning pumpkin
crackerjack marigolds
Pruning trees
and sweeping geese southward
the autumn wind
The lake's
quiet striptease —
the morning mist
Dusk over the lake
a turtle's head emerges
then silently sinks
Cloudless spring sky;
off and on all day
the caw of a crow
Spring dawn;
young tree just big enough
to rest a blackbird
Migrating swallows;
the gentle fall
of rain and leaves
Autumn wind
louder and louder—
the rattle of leaves
Open prairie;
a church and its graveyard
all alone
The Hawk's Vision by Virgil Hutton
