Thought I would experiment with haiku this week … here are 4 to peruse…
Geese pepper the sky
Wings lingering through sunset
Hastening winter
My hands turn to bone
As the chill creeps inside them
Killing summer’s blood
Eyes become crystals
Snow slithers from pregnant clouds
Freezing unshed tears of loss
Pansies encrypted
In their pottery coffins
Wait for spring’s warm breath
My submission for Thursday Poets Rally Week 34!

These are very good haikus! They make me long for winter, which we don’t have in this part of the world.

What is Haiku??…dint understand a bit, but I’ll have to say, its very metaphorical!
December 4, 2010 at 8:36 am
Seasweetie
In its western interpretation, Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry – a three-line poem with the first and last lines having 5 syllables and the second line having seven syllables. Most often, the focus is of the poem is on nature or the seasons. Hope you enjoyed them, Trevor!
