Haikus V

Is my home safe
The stream bables on after
Days of non-stop rain

Scurrying off home
After a long day at work...
The small black beatle

Surfing every wave
The ecstatic joy of a...
Cormorant at play

All I see are trees
All I hear are chirping birds...
Yet the tears roll down

Glistening dew drops
Each one a microcosm...
Bejewel the pine tree

Bending with the wind
The Taoist carries water...
In a straw hat
