Zodiac Haiku


Troops ram fireballs
A fragrant purple flower
Withers in a flash

The girl dressed in blue
Listens to the humming-bird
As bull paws the earth

Twins play artfully
One to sell and one to buy
Winning an aggie

Crab's protective shell
Luminesces emerald green
In moon lit water

Cameo Lion
Set under the fiery sun
King of his domain

Mobile virgin earth
bedecked in red grains of sand
Adapts to wastrels

Diplomatic scales
Weigh the vacillating farce
Of hot air buffoons


Scorpion's cruel sting
Stabs resurgent agony
Until drowned in death

With discerning skill
Archer fires his moral dart
Thereby changing laws

Sea-goat ploughs his seed
Saturnine in earthy truth
Scrimping prudent thoughts

Water borne aloft
Hoisted high into the Air
Tilted, gushes free

Fishes dart in fear
Neptune ponders soberly
Giving life to sea
