nine haiku: flowers that grow back

surprise my eyes 
wonder my mind 
flowers grow back

twist off flowers with stems
into a vase of treated water
they shrivel

go down to the riverside
gather flowers 
gone!

dragonflies dart
tiny breezes retreat
typhoon arrives

pick it up, drop it
pick it up, drop it
breeze kicks a plastic bag

chanting wind
in the dark 
nature howls its mantra

mayhem passes
sun comes out
flowers rise again

stop time 
in the wrong direction 
undress the illusion

birds sing
ears ring
sit and listen
