My Haiku Collection by Terry Mallory It is my pleasure to share with you my personal collection of haiku. I hope you will enjoy reading them. They are a mixture of childhood memories, and nostalgia, some deal with human nature and a time of season. Hopefully they will spark some kind of response. My intention is for the reader to get a vivid imagination of a related experience after reading my haiku. I never imagined that I would put so much thought into three lines!

joy and pride granddaughter starts to read on her own

snow flakes falling gently I stick out my tongue to catch one

Time Goes On winter evening party several days after belated birthday snowflakes fall a new year begins longer days scent of fresh cut grass dogwood trees in bloom barbeque grills and hot summer nights high up in the sky shining so bright a silver moon crops being severed from the land as the leaves change colors
