Here are samples of haiku verses I received from readers. Great job, all of you! Thanks!
From Kathy:
Like drums, thunder booms
Waking the dozing storm clouds -
They spill tears like wine.
Hot blueberry bursts,
Purple sweetness in my mouth,
Scones and tea for one.
From Tullik:
Fruit fly in the wine
"Back again at happy hour?"
Lord Buddha cries "HELP!"
From Penny:
Golden leaves descend
floating, waving, saluting
an earthen blanket
From LaLa (via email):
Wind blowing the leaves
Clearing grass before snow
While mulching flowers
And three more of my own (I have been writing one a day):
6 November 2013
Wild geese resting on
Calm surface of the pond - a
long way yet to go
7 November 2013
Ice holds back the Thames
Frozen birds fall from the sky.
Beware! Don't look up.
8 November 2013
Small brown body floats
In birdbath bowl while leaves of
gold serve as a shroud.
"Ice holds back the Thames..." Very nice Belle I think I know what reading may have inspired you for this little gem. Helen Humphreys would be so proud.
ReplyDeleteAh, Tullik, you caught me! I love HH's writing and am already looking for her other books. I wrote about 'The Frozen Thames' today.
DeleteHaiku are fun to write and fun to read! It was a treat seeing mine here :).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing yours, Kathy. Just my way of helping to make you famous!
