HAIKU MY HEART

WRITTEN FOR "recuerda mi corazon" HAIKU MY HEART


Tempted by glitter
Night quietly plucks a star
Moon cries in vain

  1. A great visual of the night sky, it does look like glitter. And the crying moon. It outshines them all. Some nights it is hiding.
    Good thoughts here.

    Peace.

  6. You asked me to visit and your haiku has served me well as a prompt. I leave here the way your haiku made me feel. Thank you.

    The Long Way

    The glitter deceives
    us as night takes our vision.
    We are left with bones.
    How the moon opens
    her heart, how she sobs, cries out
    across all our years,
    waxing and waning,
    and the tides still rise and fall.
    So it is with us
    as we rise and fall
    according to the long way
    we have still to go.

  9. Ah, you have the true gift of Haiku, yes. You tell a story and your figures are the stuff of great myth. I love it. Very beautiful indeed. We have had a glittery sky here and the full harvest moon (called the "wine moon" has been crying I am sure)

  16. Lovely images. I love haiku for its spareness, its compression, yet its vast capacity to encapsulate beauty and truth in a few well-chosen words.

  17. I see a shooting star,
    Can I make a wish,
    Will my wish be fulfilled or will it also go in vain...
