A Dash of His Hand: Haiku and Poem



Written for Haiku Heights 
Prompt: Moral

Haiku My Heart

One Single Impression


For:  Haiku Heights


Never slips,
he holds morals tight;
distant peaks

**

For: Haiku My Heart


clouds roar and then rain;
ripples of  laughter appear
on the face of lake


For One Single Impression

Just a Dash of His Hand

Just a dash of his hand
with the loud thud
made the wooden table tremble
from that sudden shock
as her dreams splattered
on the floor without a sound
breaking into millions of pieces
which only her teary eyes
could see from behind
the wet layers of salty water
and he quietly walked over them
without realising that some pieces
might have got stuck
under the sole of his shoes
and I wonder if
the pain stuck in those
will ever reach his soul..
Nothing much had happened
everyone had been quizzing her
about the glow on her face
and springs in her feet
and the gleam in her eyes
and she had just filled the 'dash'..
and that's when came
just a dash of his hand

**


An attempt to create a haiku combining all

A dash of his hand
makes her laughter disappear;
perceived morals

  2. at times, those morals slip and peaks become more distant :)

  3. I like this. Never is a very long time. He has true strength necessary to reach the mountain peaks.

  4. Keeping those distant peaks in sight can be difficult at times on the road he is traveling, I suspect! Who is (Im)moral?

  5. Those roads are so often hazardous. Nice one.

  6. Ramesh, I love them all, but your final haiku shows the benefits of shrinking our poems. It says all that needs to be said!

  16. Hello RSji...
    When I was reading above Haiku Heights, I, actually was not reading, I was watching a small movie.
    Never thought a "Just a dash of Hand" would make a flow of such emotions...
