Haiku -- awakening

I don't write haiku -- I find them in books and newspapers.  I was amazed to find a great haiku in the comics this morning appropriate to the May theme -- the only thing I had to do was block out four words from the original captions and flip the order of the two panels.

Here's the original:

Here's the haiku version:

I need to see Scott
Why did I push him away?
I feel different.

Haiku -- canopy

My found haiku reads:

the turtle-doves sat
or fluttered from bough to bough
pines over my head

Haiku -- rhapsody

My found haiku reads:

    universal lyre
    had conversed with every leaf
    the voice of the wood

Haiku -- journey

my found haiku reads:

The next train arrives

rounding-up of stray children

outside the station

Haiku -- balance

My found haiku reads:

they float through the air
dance on the tips of their toes
the dancers take joy

Haiku -- waterways

The found haiku reads:

it's the same old talk
same old view of the canal
some work at the docks

Haiku -- procrastination

My found haiku reads:

I would walk the halls
settle into a big chair
I'd read the papers

Haiku -- sunshine

the found haiku reads:

music at sunrise
expectation of the dawn
does not forsake us

Haiku -- love

I'm new to this group
I cut "found haikus" from books
Here's one about love



My found haiku reads:

a shared enterprise
more than they can imagine
special thanks are due
