         17

the earth trembles,
still water
moves.

         16  

shared laughter,
a father
remembered.
       

         15

starry night,
Iowa
has a landscape.


         14

melted in the frost,
a heart shaped
butt print.

(Happy Valentine's Day hugs to all!)  :hug:


         13  

pulled out of retirement,
the jester's suit.


         12

family and friends,
fun times come home
to sweep back shadows.


         11

final breaths
draw in
love.


         10

white shoes,
hardly worn -
I long to scuff them.


          9

the bed's feet like hooves -
I wonder -
will it run?


          8

cold details
heard in the hallway,
I shut the door.


          7

I am still working on this - Ecclesiastes ch 5 vs 17, 18, 19
the Bible opens
itself.


          6

empty flower baskets
packed away,
hospice.


          5

cold days -
an autumn leaf
looks in.


          4

winter winds rattle windows
beats on the door,
will spring come again?


           3  

tearing at shingles,
disturbing curtains -
winter moves in.


          2

bestowed upon
raw earth,
a snow white mantle.


          1

reaching long
across snowy fields,
shadows.

circling a yellow wrist
a watch
counts seconds.
Here we go for another round of haiku excitement! Expect to find senyru mixed with haiku and the occasional tanka here. I tend to play with the forms during these months.... Read more about haikuwrimo here > [link]

And a big thank you to :iconretrozombie: and :iconjade-pandora: for a great stamp!

Keraness had me thinking about mantles with her journal entry here.... [link] :heart: The Qasida al-Burda is beautiful.....

I have been trying to keep up. I will be by today to look at what others are writing.

I am still here, even if my updating and commenting is not. :D

day 14: LOL, i'm not sure how the butt could make a heart-shaped print but i know its certainly possible.

day 12: more of a statement than a haiku. you could emphasize the particular thing that gives you the 'fun time' feel, say, smell of baked cakes/cookies, sound of chatting/laughter, gay deco in the house. the last line will then be duly qualified.

day 10: if you don't scuff your shoes sooner you'll have to scrap them.

day 7: the bible reference is interesting but the first line is toooo looong. this idea is certainly hard to put in a haiku form.

day 2: yet another beautiful way to describe the snow-covered ground. i like how you call the earth 'raw' such that it really need a coat.

more haiku this month of july please~! :D
