Hokku, and short Haika

By Derelict Dream

The Wheel Turns Ever;
Silently Spinning, Always
Here Find Broad Stages:

Wild Wind Blew In Spring;
Carrying Silent Whispers
To, Fro - Back Again.

Booming Thunder Rolls
Signalling Summer's Egress;
Welcome, Cold Seasons.

Leaves Begin To Fall;
The Wind's Whispers Gain A Voice
Morrow, and Colder.

Soon Shall Come Winter,
Short Daya, Long Nights, Pleasant All;
This Is My Ardor.
