Country Haikus

These were my first attempts at haiku. I know they aren't exactly haiku according to the experts, but they came out nice anyway.


Cold metal dipper
icy-wet well water flows
sweetly down my throat

Southern pine trees sway
so tall in the southern breeze
And smell of citrus

Sagging, old buildings
tasting of our history
rotting, forgotten

I smell the mountains
the rain, the damp moss and leaves
The scent takes me home
