Haiku Moments

egret is wading
step by step on the pond floor
careful fisherman

yesterday's vision
five pink flamingos visit
freedom lake shallows
​

 

[freedombecki]

heron and egrets
united by invasion
pink interlopers

​

 

[freedombecki]

choppy pond surface
sadly no lovely bird stood
out where my heart is
​

 

[freedombecki]

circular pulsars
lake creatures stir with tension
fight for survival​

 

[freedombecki]

sad separation
via loved one's dementia
misery index
​

The Eagle flies on high
Above its nest gently
Landing to feed its charge

 

[percysunshine]

fall is coming fast
snow will soon blanket landscape
enjoy the winter​

^^two different ones, doing truly nice Haiku^^

Thanks for an unexpected day-brightener, pbel and percysunshine.

What a time to be outta reps.

I write haiku often on little "post it notes" that somehow appeared out of the blue after an upgrade. I never could figure out how to find my lost computer info to get word going, so after a couple of years, never wrote or printed a single letter that I didn't go online to my board and print off. Few people frequent it, so it's my printout place shared with a fellow internet traveller who's one of the best special services man the USA ever had.

Anyhow, for everyday, I just type out my little haiku and post it here and there, just wrote this one after finishing a quilt today:

Sorry for bending any ears, I try to keep this in 17 syllables, 5-7-5, but sometimes a special occasion arises, and it is good to see 2 others trying their hand at something I've been doing for 15 years, jotting smeared haikus on my purse notebook, the backs of bills, torn envelopes, and even the sanctum sanctorum of the quilt notebook int the sewing room,

Here goes another jotted quickly, then postponed awhile visiting other threads. I've been so jazzed about sewing a series of turquoise quilts this week with 3 completes <huge grin>:

sewing in turquoise
beautiful blue-green planet
outer space jewel

My coffee staring
at my half opened eyes
greeting a new day

 

[Capstone]

Blankets overhead,
trapped wife breathes my S.B.D.:
'covered wagon' fun...​

 

[freedombecki]

autumn gulf rainclouds
cleansing the earth presently
cooling raindrops fall
​

 

[percysunshine]

Hurricane approach
windswept rain and oceans' surge
we should run away​

egret, flamingo
food fight at okay corral

EEK The hornbill caws
Island Borneo delight
He ate my golf ball​

Borneo Hornbill

Colorful creature
broad band along tail feathers
something on his mind

Earthquake


Earthquake shook last night

feeling jolts like no other

and shaking a leg

 

[percysunshine]

Seismic waves will come
Earths crust fragments to pieces
New land always forms​

 

[Capstone]

Awful stench abounds,
fumes ignited by the phrase,
"Pull my finger, Son."...​

 

[freedombecki]

small turquoise pieces
await the sewing machine
and a little love
