Monday, December 8

haiku+


Mixed bag.







sunny afternoon
a butterfly on ivy
shifts its seat
whenever a shadow falls
but returns to the same place









dusting of snow

I was grumpy when
a big black bird stirred the snow
just above my head

gave me a dusting
unexpected but quite fun
cheered me up no end


based on an 8-line poem by Robert Frost, who says it so much better than me in roughly the same number of syllables
Written for a prompt at CarpeDiem









curvaceous towers
glitter, glam and nudity
china's skylines

dwarfing humans
gaping at monstrosities
into submission

Take a look HERE






frosted winter field
a thousand December moons
sparkle Indra’s web

dancing god of thunderstorms.
who drunk of Soma juice

My tail end to a hokku/haiku by J. Hanagan [?], still to become a prompt I hope.







misery saturation point

we lose interest
in the pain that isn't ours
no longer saddened
by another person's woe
how I wish it weren't so


we are gladdened
by the joys of others
share their happiness
when we ourselves are sad
I do not think that's bad




...and yes, I know this doesn't have the tanka sentiment, but I still wanted to write it.
So there!
