A Chain Unfolds Itself..


April 11, 2012
Written for Haiku Heights
April Challenge..



Prompt: Possible

A Chain Unfolds Itself..

Possible options;
write a nice haiku or sleep
before midnight

Before midnight
I choose writing a haiku;
Haiku Heights pull

Haiku Heights pull
flow of thoughts from my heart;
oblivious mind

Oblivious mind
looks forward to dreaming;
a goodnight’s sleep

A goodnight’s sleep;
I get up for my walk to
shake hands with sun

Shake hands with sun
or to sing songs of morning;
I wonder aloud

I wonder aloud
trees quietly listen to
promise of the day

Promise of the day
I look at the miracle of
a single haiku

A single haiku
but a chain unfolds itself;
possible options..

RS:)

      Jayanth one of my posts is more than 100 lines.. trust me that was also me.. I love to write.. will some time send you..but challenge of Haiku is to write in boundaries. concise and clear.. even if I wrtie a chain of haiku my effort is always to see that each one stands alone too.. Thank yoy, Jayanth.. lets continue with Haikuing..

    I enjoyed following your night and morning journey. My favorite

    I think most of us Haiku-writers can relate to this totally... It's like an impatient wait till the clock ticks twelve!

    That is just gorgeous.

    Well ... Ramesh ... how addicted can we be on haiku :-) This happens me too. When I am on route to write a new haiku I can't stop. I tried to stop that train of writing, but it didn't stop.
    I love writing (and not only haiku).

    A fun read. I like where you took "possible" and the haiku were about writing haiku.
