romance in haiku (with prompted items from NaHaiWriMo wall)
#16
packing for one
except
our toothbrushes
#16b
morning waves
lapping on our toes—
in a wink sunset
#16c
the lake
ahhh—
a hand clasp
#16d
arrival gate
blur of a hundred faces
except yours
end of winter clouds–
their heartbeats the only sound
between them
spring–
between patches of night sky
a pregnant moon
Numbered items from NaHaiWriMo wall. Romance in haiku because of its compact, disciplined form reads more intense for me, more compelling from what’s unsaid. What do you think?
pregnant moon
pregnant moon
out of dark clouds into the light
on to my turns
summer evening pickings-haiku
Like a bonus, these ‘summer evening pickings’ , these haiku moments swept me on my walk this early evening. I suppose I deserve a ‘jornal’ of $1000–not a small jackpot on Canada Day (tomorrow, July 1st). Thanks to ‘poet upinvermont’, I really seem more attuned.
1.
delayed arrival–
a pregnant moon hangs
on a summer sky
2.
by the gate
she stops to smell a rose–
monks chanting matins
3.
hydrangea blooms
over the fence my eye-level
children’s portrait
4.
empty white chair
on a front lawn at dusk
a dog sniffs its legs
