Beautiful rainbow,
I rush towards its beauty;
It just disappears.

Blast from the Past:

The waves surge forward
Just to rush back to the depths,
An eternal dance

Coming from the ground,
Sulphur vents out the shrubs of
The tundra wasteland

Blast from the Past:

Microbes glistening
The ocean water under
The clear starlit sky

My first haiku is about the sulphur vents common in the Rotorua area of New Zealand. The second haiku is about the bioluminescent microbes native to some of the waters in Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean.

Branches dissolving
As they descend into the
Acidic green lake

Blast from the Past:

Burnt red clay
And shards of glass
Where the world turned to salt and fire

An endless growth of
Pines, ferns, moss, and somehow
Many palm tree husks

A Posthumous Title: The temperate rain forest of New Zealand

Blast from the Past:

These forests of pillars
Now eroding stone in the
Summer wind and rain

(I wrote the first haiku above while on the road without enough internet access to post it day of, so I posted later when I internet.)
