Dear Cleo

Ha, I have a problem : My haiku, while I hope funny, usually have a serious intent behind them. So do I post twice ?

love
Alan

Having started writing Haiku, I now can't stop... help!!!



borne on the spindrift
a seagull feather takes flight
without its owner

footsteps skip lightly
child carrying a balloon
after the party

sepulchral ship's horn
attempting to pierce the fog
seeking safe harbour

laughing impishly
grand daughter tickles my cheek
with butterfly kiss

tipsy butterflies
dreamily drunk on pollen
all their curtailed lives

through the woodland trees
Snow Moon points bone-white fingers
at nodding snowdrops

the swing still moving
she has run away laughing
but she is still missed

soapy bubbles fly
puppy, tiring of the chase
flops down, falls asleep


·······IPB·······

Dear Grace

"I now can't stop... help!!!"

Answer : GOOD !

Out of these 8, there were only about 7 I liked. Some I even loved, they give such a concise pinpoint pen picture.

May I suggest ship's horn ? alliteration !

Grace has haiku bug :
she is occupied painting
pinpoint pen pictures .....

Love
Alan

James,  thank you for the information.  I had no idea
of its origin.  You've taught me something today. dance.gif

Grace, your haiku are wonderful.  I especially like:


tipsy butterflies
dreamily drunk on pollen
all their curtailed lives

I find this one has great depth.

I dug up another one of mine.

Hello Alan knight.gif

Thank you.  I never could distinguish between ship and boat. Certainly sounds much better now.

This is great fun. I'm sure some of these will lead on to poems, but I am having great fun writing them.

Thanks to you and Michelle for the encouragement.

Love

Grace  :farmer:  :cloud9:

Dear Grace

"I never could distinguish between ship and boat"

Nor can half the nation, there is a correspondence going on in the D Telegraph just now on this very point.

Bit like the Q "What's the difference between a dog and a flea ?" - "Well, a dog can have fleas, but ....." - generally, a ship can have boats .....

Hey, Grace, you're a natural!  Sorry I'm so unnatural!  I guess that's why I created my own form, HeadCase Haiku!  Sorry, LorII for my cowpie-ing this thread... but looks like someone else just did too? oops.gif

fall beclouds

shadowing daylight,
then reigning o’er noon’s parade,
what be fall’s clouds? mist?

befogging our daze,
they loft, leave a cirrusly
cumulous affect

feigning memories
their wisp a ring in silence
as they diminish

leaving trees baring
shivering limbs with trunks packed,
but nowhere to go.
