Odd Little Boxes: Introduction

This will be an experimental series of poems in which the letters form a box and it reads the same from top to bottom as it does from left to right. Let me know your thoughts on this idea, even if they are negative. It's an experiment so I want your feedback.

Quite a Haiku #38

African Elements

puddles gather mud
welcoming the elephants
seering heat relief

Quite a Haiku #37

Smitten by Kittens

prowling on the hour
glowing eyes and claws like knives
clump of fuzz, beware!

Quite a Haiku #36

Summer Enchanted

air envelopes us
swishing willow branches sway
breeze floats from the east

Quite a Haiku #35

Flood from the Fissure

solitude in song
shower of sweet salvation
sparkle of solace

Quite a Haiku #34

Hush

listen to the rain
awake to conversation
of the birds at play

Quite a Haiku #33

Master of Dirt

digging, scurrying
under hill and dale, then pop
up for breath of air

Quite a Haiku #32

Old Ways and Cold Days

a wolf on the prowl
stiff ears upraised attentive
ready now to pounce

Quite a Haiku #31

Bespeaking Ancient Gardens

spices fill the air
blossoms sweet as Solomon
fountains gurgle forth

Quite a Haiku #30

Delightful Squealing

birds on branches rise
beneath a nectar skyscape
gentle corus chirp

Quite a Haiku #29

Sounds on the Windowpane

pitter patter down
outside the rain is falling
puddles fill the ground

Quite a Haiku #28

Dried up River Bed

ogle crusty bones
alone in desert thirsty
carrion decays
