Haiku

Three Lines

To express

The intangible

.

Turn to me

When rain pours down
And thunder shakes the sky
You can turn to me
. 

Laughs like a child

She moves like a woman
But laughs like a child

.

Perfected

Shadows of the Earth

Echoes of the sky

Walks on many waters

.

Burglar

 

The morning sun creeps

Through your window

Like a friendly burglar

.

Stolen

In the mirror
A familiar face
It was stolen
.

Seven Wonders

The Seven Wonders
Walked in the park
No-one saw them
It was dark
.

Over my radio

Velvet doves
Coo in silence
Over my radio
.

The Wolf Moon

The Wolf Moon,
Casts silver daggers,
That pierce the night.
.
.

The Folly Of Wisdom

 

The glamour of corruption,

The conceit of men,

The folly of wisdom.

.

.

The Dark

Afraid of the winter dark

The ghost in the window

Was your own reflection

.

The Dragonfly Hunter

How far to-day in chase, I wonder,

Has gone my hunter of the dragon-fly?

A reinterpretation of a Haiku by Chiyojo (1703-1775)
