Monarch

Such delicate things.

Lost in the wind and moaning breeze.

Wing in a sling.

Fighting for the courage it needs.

A monarch.

A king.

Brilliant and colorful.

King of the skies.

Lost in the night.

Buffeted.

Battered.

Going south as the chill approaches.

Migrating.

Patterns on wings, and antennae.

Too thin to touch.

Some alternate Haiku

The vines rowboat leaves

Swayed by the winds shifting wake

Struck by spring’s sea spray.

Sailing to clear places

And toward the horizon.

Lighthouse guides the lost

Far from lurking rocks and stone

Shying from harms way

Lighting the true path

For one to take.

He saw no petals

Falling from trees or flowers

With slow wind, but his

Feet brush the pink

Confetti from the cherry tree.

Scaling to the top

Shading eyes to see the land

Grabbing onto branch

As to stay up

And see as long as possible.

These haiku forms are called Tanka, they are just haiku with two added lines at the end
