haiku

I.
Branches of olive
Extend like small children's arms
To embrace rivals

II.
String tied to finger
Sound of a leaky faucet
Between twitching ears

III.
Altruistic farce:
Groan slightly under the weight,
They jump up and down

IV.
Pull your head back down
Cotton puffs of ice crystals
Have nothing to say

V.
A woodpecker pecks
Branches not far from the tree
While the bugs snicker

VI.
Just because mountains
Don't cry when you blow them up
Doesn't mean you should

VII.
Identical trees
Make it impossible for
Me to navigate
