Category: Haiku Poems About Music and Sound

Seaspray
Playing violin
at the ocean

Gated hogs
on the farm
Tom Waits, softly

Debussy
Sounds plucked
from the wide blue sky

Bach
Notes rise
wide, blue, sky

Smoke and jazz
with a stand-up bass
Wind in the pines

Smoky jazz
with a stand-up bass
Wind in the pines

Smoking hot jazz
with a stand-up bass
Wind in those pines

Silence
Wind blows
this flat land dry

Silence
Eel wrapped around
the eagle’s beak

Silence
The child
and a gobstopper

Silent cold
An unexplained
dog bark

Just my breath
These silent
poplar trees

A hawk circles
Silently searching
for flight

Snow floats
The silent soft
white floor
