Haiku Moments

[percysunshine]

hummingbirds to fly
down close to waters surface
heavy they become​

 

[freedombecki]

lake surface tension
taking hiatus today
guillemots have flown
​

 

[freedombecki]

in a darkened room
prism's refractional light
color carousel
​

 

[freedombecki]

muse calliope
enchantment of eloquence
mind's fond magician
​

 

[freedombecki]

somber mauve sunset
autumn sun dropping from view
blowing sweetest kiss
​

 

[freedombecki]

dry eyes aching for
a small drop of solution
to ease the aching​

 

[percysunshine]

watching the passing
of dizzy birds caught in flight
the landing in tough​

 

[freedombecki]

morning mists conquer
clarity's accuracy
if an obsession
​

 

[freedombecki]

thanksgiving baking
long a tradition at home
happy family
​

 

[Capstone]

Cold, serrated steel
slicing through the gobbler's breast,
is a thankless job.​

 

[freedombecki]

golden tone morning
gilting the splendor of fields
leaf soliloquy
​

 

[freedombecki]

sunshine in mist's haze
softens the lace against sky
fine-crocheted tree's edge
​

 

[freedombecki]

blue and white mirror
mid-morning surface show gleams
through lake refractions​

 

[freedombecki]

great egrets landing
after circling over the lake
beyond beautiful
​

 

[Capstone]

[...] after circling over the lake [...]​

Eight syllables at best; nine at worst.

You're not slipping, are you?

Indeed. Missed the apostrophe. Should have sounded:

Af-ter-circ-ling-o'er-the-lake

1-2-3-4-5-6-7

Yep. Definite slip.

Thanks.

 

[freedombecki]

moonless morn rustic
darkness pales void into black
coruscation naught
​

 

[percysunshine]

into the center
point of solid metal core
earth spins around it​

 

[Capstone]

Let the question rest;
the Klingons on Uranus
prove there's life in space.​

 

[Capstone]

Green bitches or not,
Captain Kirk was getting some --
Women's Lib be damned!​
