The koi are hungry
Orange mouths gulp green water
Good the algae grows
-…—
Spring robins watch
Quarrelsome beasts these birds!
They don’t share the worms
—-…
Half submerged eyes
Of frogs in algae filled pond
Reflect cloudy moon
….
…
Swifts- dark crescent moons
Sickles cutting through the dusk
Tag the slower bats
….
Chatter of sparrows
Treble voices to spring song
Dried leaves percussion
….
Soft rains caress earth
A hand slides up a soft thigh
Cherry blossoms bloom
…..
Sultry air disturbs
The sleep of husband and wife
Panting without lust

I think it is the sparseness of the season….the quietude and simplicity. perfect environment to create haiku.
