Four Companions
#2 of Poetry
My four guides through life in haiku.
The Loon
An unknown swimmer,
Bird of the deep summer lake,
Mournful haunting call.
The Hawk
A patient hunter,
Spread wings soaring high above,
Deadly piercing call.
The Snake
A silent prowler,
Tasting scent upon the air,
Sun's warmth made movement.
The Frog
A swimming hopper,
Born of water grown to land,
Occasional croak.
