E. Barrie Kavasch's Poetry

Healing Haikus

Wind through my fingers
I touch the mountain's breath
-- a howling wonder --


    Passion flower
      an entire symphony
      of exploding colors
        and fragrance
          for just one day...

A woodpecker's
prehistoric call
rattles my thoughts

Red fox
mousing at midnight
caught
in my camplight

Gray opaque day
thick
with promise of
snow
hugs this ledge
