moving through my day
and then I remember you
a smile on my face
a beautiful world
everyone has a tough time
seems contradictory
in a timeless space
beyond all consequences
i want to be there
not grasping my life
getting old before my time
what time do you have
watching from the shore
she’s struggling to stay afloat
an attacking swan
nature’s memory
you won’t forget the brush past
the stinging nettles
listening to music
flowing within me and out
part of nature’s grace.
relaxing muscles
letting go the only way
cope with emotion
tell me a story
make it big and compact too
say it in haiku
letting them come through
stories running through my mind
i will tell you soon
evening comes on fast
have I been this way before
lost in the forest
it’s autumn again
leaves blowing across my feet
wonderful colours
hi brilliant hub and pictures, would love to write like that, will practice
Only I can say: wonderful.
Hi, thanks poetlorraine. I don't think it takes practice. Learn the format and then follow your instincts. I find that if you try and write haiku, it feels empty. Just do it. Russ
Hi Vladimir, thank you so much! Go well. Russ
matter a figment
of our imagination
crazy universe
Crazy indeed! Thanks Jess.
Beautiful ..
Thank you.
Languid and flowing , painting such beautiful images with your haiku, and then complimenting the words with pictures...( I loved the swan haiku and pic )...Thanks, Larry
Hi Larry, it's always good to hear from you. The way you write feedback is poetic! Thank you. I hope all is well with you. Russ
