haiku one:
in criss-crossing shadows
of the mountains, we admire
sunbathed summits
haiku two:
in criss crossing shadows
we admire sunbathed
summits
haiku three:
tottering ballet dancer
the butterfly flutters
round a bloom
haiku three:
dead widow's bamboo bell
each chime echoes
a memory of her
dead widow's bamboo bell
each chime numbs
the mind
dead widow's bamboo bell
each chime echoes
a lonely year/her lonely years
haiku four;
dead widow's bamboo bell
forelorn the chime
has become
tanka:
dugout river
a nude doll stares
right through me
i discover stephen king and
- shiver
I find 'tottering ballet dance' presents a very imaginative and lively picture. I prefer the first 'dead widow's bamboo bell over the second one. The tanka produces the effect that it describes. Nicely done.
Shadows are eternally fascinating to the poetic mind. But I was most moved by the widow and her bamboo bell. That poignant sound resonates. Warmest regards, Sandra
