First Attempts at Haiku

First Haiku Attempts 

Heat suffocates bed
Covers tossed in search of breeze
Lovers separate

* * *

Spilling words freely
Thinking to reach another
Step on broken glass

* * *

Frosted leaves hanging
Iced in death’s cold exhaled breath
Winter’s herald come

* * *

Laughter warms in love
A passing shadow darkens
Cold cold rain falling

* * *

Reaching out in want
Spending all my pocket’s words
Left then stone broke

* * *

Peepers fill this night
High frequency signaling
Spring now is afoot

* * *

Hats crush down on head
Ears reject the push of bands
Hair flies up unkempt

* * *

Whirls of color skip
Shards blaze even in puddles
Nothing dulls the fall

* * *

An ant travels fast
To my foot and then over
It’s anatomy

* * *
