Four Haiku

serene
Spring: A hill without a name Veiled in morning mist. The beginning of autumn: Sea and emerald paddy Both the same green. The winds of autumn Blow: yet still green The chestnut husks. A flash of lightning: Into the gloom Goes the heron's cry.
Four Haiku - form Summary
Economy of Seasonal Snapshot
These four short haiku use the strict haiku form to present single, tightly focused natural images tied to seasons. Each three-line poem isolates a moment—mist on a nameless hill, matching greens of sea and paddy, lingering chestnut husks, a heron’s cry after lightning—so the compressed language intensifies sensory detail and sudden awareness. The form’s brevity leaves space for reflection, making ordinary scenes feel immediate and quietly transitory.
