Spring raindrops pound dust
cleansing the air with dirt smell
swaddled by white noise
Heat waves warp my view
the sun taunts with a puddle
always out of reach
Sweet cool Texas wind
changes direction so fast
with no where to go
White treetops look warm
for something so well covered
looks are deceiving
Author notes
These are my first Haiku.

Great!
What a fine collection of haiku Ben!
All four are very good, although I have chosen a favorite as well.
The winner is...(drum roll)
#4
Second place will go to the third haiku.
I was at a different poetry board a few years back and created a thread called 2-5-5 Haiku and this was one of my faves that had come from that.
friendship
no water required
it sails on pure trust
Any way...
great job!

Great!

Excellent
My two favorite lines (cause I am such a visual gal)
"Spring raindrops pound dust" I can just see the way raindrops create a little dust cloud when the hit dry dirt
"the sun taunts with a puddle always out of reach" yes, that mirage of water on the horizon that appears during a hot day.
Genius

Zen in Simplicity
It was really fun to write these even though I just whipped them out I wanted to capture a microcosm with each one describing a different aspect of a season.

these are great
I really liked this a lot, and if you hadn't put haiku in the title and in the notes, I would have thought they were meant to be together as stanza's.
I loved the second one, that mirage fascinated me when I was a child, and I have to say..to this day it still does,it amazing how the weather can play tricks on your senses, and all of these describe that well. They all in their own right, tingle the senses. Well done

Thank you
Traditional Haiku is always written about weather variables used as metaphors for emotions. I was trying to do that here with the seasons in the classic 5-7-5 count. -
