    February, The Season

    Fading Are The Darker Days

    winter blankets get shaken
    dust lightly dances
    springfresh sunshine settles in

    snow statues

    the grass grows

    Mark It With A "D"

    I brake the bonds with a smile
    blow dust, pass it on
    my old sweater's a warm hug

    February, Moods

    Clear Blue

    the colour of ice crystals
    on porcelain cheeks
    snow falls on a lonely road


    Lonely Road

    before there was laughter, joy
    before the hush, shhh
    before your cheeks turned away
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    oh enlightened... that lonely one... issa mak-a-me cry cry

    I LOVE the emotional anti-force of the word "hush", and the sound "shh". It's like, totally connected to my inner child's heart-strings or something....

    good one, girliewhirl

    you got me

    morning fog


    path revealed within the fog
    two leaves towards war dead

    I was thinking of the Vietnam Memorial, and how foggy it was this morning, and I just put the two in the same poem. A lot of times we are able to see a foggy day from the ground up. For instance, a sidewalk is revealed before a 4th floor window.

    The visitor looks down the path and the only thing of interest is a couple leaves due to what the fog is hiding. The visitor does not know the memorial is within a couple steps of these leaves. Then after these steps the visitor is faced with all the names of the war dead.

    Haiku should be clear within the first reading. I just need to practice more :)

    perhaps you can use this line in another form?

    it's really good. i like ambiguity a lot. and, not only that... this line works the mouth.

    i say it's a keeper
    i'm even thinking of changing my sig :)

    September, The Heavens

    "The sky is crying..."- SRV

    an angel's tears fall
    covering my face and hair
    she cleanses my soul

    To get you back in the swing of things, Ms. H. :) I need a tune up too--I don't think I can beat my February, Moods there...at least not yet! :D

    a window divides
    known from unknown

    Moods

    coffee and coffins,
    cruelty by candlelight, he
    cannot keep you caged


    And Ms. H? Of course you love Haiku! After all, you transformed into the oh so bella, Ms. Haiku now, didn't you? ;):) I love seeing you and your haikus in this forum. :)
