This is the beginning of a series I'm going to work on. I never really write haikus much, but I've always appreciated writers of this form for their ability to create such a beautiful moment is such a limited space. Please humor me as I practice :)
Simple Things
Pool reflections float
on our living room ceiling,
a bit of magic.
........
Clean dishes, warm bath.
The clarity of nothing
to do but sit, be.
........
Purple petals on
lunch. Delicate reminder
you're still here. I'm yours.
This is a haiku poem that I wrote recently for an AP & T contest - thought you'd enjoy it :) ....
ReplyDeleteThis land took my love. Mother, Father, Sarah too! Now they rest Above.
But it gave a son. Isaac, standing tall and strong. He shines like the sun.
A home it gave too. In the great Alaskan wild. Built with love for you. Mountains that stand strong. Nature at it's very best. The days are so long. :)
Alaska we love. Good, bad and in between. It fits like a glove!
