Still Six More Weeks (Senryu Chain)

He's at it again
it's trying to run away
from his fat shadow.

Not like he can talk
to let us know, how stupid
all us humans are.

There are six more weeks
no matter how hard we try
we'll still shovel snow.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Winter's Here (Haiku Chain)

Flakes flow with the wind
although it is cold outside
I'm wearing a smile.

Winter can be harsh
as the snow piles on the streets
people do complain.

Winter's here to stay
just a little while longer
shouldn't get you down.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


The Cat Waits (Abbreviated Crown Haikus)

The cat waits by the mouse hole
it sits.

His lunch will be on its way
it sits.

Mouse scurries across the floor
it sits.

It stops to look at the cat
it sits.

Meal gets away from the cat
it sits.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

This is my own style of poetry.


The Fall's Rain (Oddquain Butterfly)

The
Fall rain's cool
it's good for the plants
can't wait to see the sun come
clouds
linger above the city
and I know there is
more rain to
come.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


The Geese Fly (Dodoitsu/Monorhyme Combo)

I had to search, with my eyes
hear them honking, in the sky
I watch them, as they fly by
through fog, the geese fly.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


The Turkey Entertains (Double Modulus 5)

Walking to the beat
in his clown costume
big shoes on his feet
his feathers all plumed
it looked rather neat.

Stops to entertain
for people on streets
he has himself trained
with a smile, he greets
meal? Never again.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


These Storms (Modulus 8)

These storms are creating havoc
freezing rain, snow, more rain
power goes out
Winter

Copyright Cynthia Jones


The Winter Snow (Haiku Chain)

The Winter snow falls
a picturesque view it makes
flakes dance in the wind.

As the snow shimmers
like diamonds under the sun
birds fly high above.

In the afternoon
winds come to a complete calm
and sun starts to set.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Thinking Of Spring (Double Sedoka-Katauta)

I'm thinking of Spring
Winter has been very harsh
tired of looking at snow.

Beautiful flowers
remind me so much of Spring
can't wait for it to get here.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

I took this picture myself on Oct.25/2008. It's one of the flowers that grew in my garden. It's a Shirley Poppy or it can be called a Paper Poppy.


Those Runts (Abbreviated Haiku/Monorhyme Combo)

Birds know how to pack a punch
those runts.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

Figured I'd try something new. This is my own style.


Three Deer (Dodoitsu/Monorhyme Combo)

It's the perfect time of year
when the weather is so clear
side of the road, there's no fear
stand three female deer.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Warm Winter Sun (Double Haiku)

Sun shines from the sky
that's the delight of poets
the sun warms their hearts.

The warm Winter sun
surely calms the beast within
get out and enjoy.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Wind (Oddquain)

Wind
blows so hard
it sometimes destroys
everything in its path
wind

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Winter Inspiration (Reversed Double Tetractys)

Beautiful snow, sparkles like diamonds
inspiration
comes to me
Winter
flakes

Snow is swirling around, like a ballet
in an updraft
they are caught
'tis God's
gift

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Remembering Oklahoma (Lira)

So many years have passed, now
and so many lives are being remembered
mourners clasp their hands, heads bow
prayers from family members
emotions still heated, like glowing embers.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

On this day of remembrance, the lives that were taken from the Earth before their time in Oklahoma and Virginia, are being mourned. May they rest in Peace and may they never be forgotten.


Remembering Columbine (Nonet)

Some souls were taken away today
it seems it has been long ago
family members have tears
they're streaming from their eyes
always remembered
these souls will be
forever
never
lost.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


It Bit Me (Haiku)

Squirrel bit my thumb
it must have thought it was food
darn! That really smarts.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Humpty Takes A Fall (Senryu)

Humpty takes a fall
lost his balance, cracked his shell
tripped over a rock.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Animals Play (Reversed Katauta)

In the forest they do roam
they are playing hide and seek
animals do play.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


As The Fog Lifts (Lune)

As the fog
lifts from the city
the sun shines.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Autumn Colors (Reversed Pensee)

Autumn colors stand out
in the forest, I love to walk
stop to look at the colors
truly enjoy
the scene.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Autumn Lingers (Oddtrain)

Leaves
change colors
Autumn still lingers
I enjoy taking my walks
peace

Bats (Scifaiku)

Although they are blind
their sonar can bounce, all the
way to the bright moon.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

LOL Just trying something different and silly at the same time.


Bear (Haiku)

Waddles down the path
to jump in the lake and fish
oops! Falls in face first.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Bluejay (Reversed Whitney Rhyme)

Steals peanuts from the chipmunks
does he not have shame?
I think not
he needs to eat
just as much
as chipmunks do
there's plenty.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Blustery Day (Kimo)

It's truly hard to believe, Spring is here
the wind does blow, violently
glad there is no snow.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Boys (Lantern)

Boys
charming
pick flowers
play in the dirt
Lads

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Brook (Haiku)

The water runs fast
dragonflies flutter about
the water feels cool.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Our Earth (Tanka Chain)

An ode to the Earth
she's providing for us all
we have to love her.

Replace trees, that are cut down
instead of leaving bare land.

Take her for granted
her heart is being destroyed
when will we all learn?

We will have to smarten up
before she dies out on us.

I don't think it's right
that we are destroying her
God gave her to us.

We have to look after her
before she's taken away.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Hairy Legs (Double Rhyming Tanka)

I've got hairy legs
they keep me so very warm
"Shave them," hubby begs.

Give me extra heat at night
keeps my husband filled with fright.

Throughout the Winters
I have been through many storms
hairs feel like splinters.

I think the hair gives me height
but of course, I ain't that bright.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

I had this title written in a book and I've had it for a while now. I'm trying my best to get myself back into writing humour. This is my own style of poetry.


He's At It Again (Reverse Oddquain)

He's
trying to give us good news
but sees his shadow
six more weeks
argh!

Copyright Cynthia Jones


I Have Missed You, Mom (Decuain)

My friend, I have missed you so very much
when the wind blows, all I think of, is you,
it has always been my heart, you have touched
Mom, for such a long time, I've been so blue.
Tears I have felt, in Summer's morning dew
I've been missing sleep, through the long, cold nights,
just wishing to talk, before nights are through
hoping to see you, before morning's light.

It has always been my heart, you have touched
I have missed you, Mom oh, so very much.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


My Heart Swims (La'Tuin/Monorhyme Combo)

My heart swims, to the beat of your heart
hoping that we will never part
I have always loved you, from the start
you're always missed, when we're apart.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

Just something I came up with. This is my own style of poetry.


Poets (Sedoka-Katauta)

Poets do create
with words that come from the soul
many hearts of people, touched.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Pollination (Haiku Chain)

Around the garden
bumblebees and hornets fly
bees look for honey.

Hornets take a rest
while the bees are so busy
the sun shines above.

Nature at its best
it's food, the flowers provide
for busy workers.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Relaxing After Dinner (Senryu)

I am relaxing
got finished a big dinner
let my gutt hang out.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

This is just something that came to mind.


Snow Flakes (Abbreviated Haiku)

The snowflakes fall from the sky
beauty.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Spring Greeting (Double Haiku/Monorhyme Combo)

Spring's finally here
flying birds, give a loud cheer
warmth, kicks into gear.

Squirrels don't spill tears
geese gathering in skies clear
Spring here, have no fear.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Winter Sunset (Pixiku)

I enjoy looking at many Winter sunsets
basking in the glory, the love, God has given
I am in wonder of it all.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Leaves (Tanka)

The leaves change colours
one by one, they fall gently
to the ground below.

The wind picks up, leaves take flight
on a journey, far away.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Mice Are Pumping Iron (Abbreviated Crown Haikus)

They're always pumping iron
those mice.
Every day they work out
get strong.
The cat better watch himself
trouble.
He should pack his bags and leave
run fast.
Mice will be running for that
poor cat.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

This is my own style of poetry.


Starlings (Haiku Chain)

Starlings hop around
they're looking for little seeds
just out on my lawn.

Flitter through the air
they hang around my garden
beneath the warm sun.

Stocking up on food
for Winter is almost here
I, just sit and watch.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Gone With The Wind (Limerick)

My memories are gone with the wind
I'm wanting to know, where they have been
time flows like the river
the cold makes me shiver
just want my memories home again.

Copyright Cynthia Jones
