Cool air from highlands
Envelops meadows below
Heavenly promise

Luxuriant green but
Small creatures magnanimous
in freedom's wild romps

Ruefully crying
Life lost untold destruction
Rare earthquake endured

Note: Recent earthquake on Mount Kinabalu caused 18 deaths

    the earth turns in its sleep

  4. I know some people in Nepal near where the earthquake was there. It can be so devastating, and in te blink of an eye, everything changes.

  7. A wonderful little story, with a sad tone, caught in three nice haiku. Earthquakes aren't pretty, but sometimes they bring a lot of new nature .... Even an earthquake, notwithstanding the sadness and harm it brings, can have a positive result on the beauty of Mother Nature.
