Haiku (5) : For The Way The Wind Blows Poem by Jacqui Thewless
Haiku (5) : For The Way The Wind Blows
i
before it recedes
a tide brings you the present
of a star-shaped fish
ii
asleep on the train
a child and his grandma are
folded together
iii
the earth-bound seed speck's
still held by a pale thin thread
the spider has left
iv
green long willow leaves
shooting from this new spring's tree
gathering showers
v
the world's sands shift
when you begin to notice
the way the wind blows
wonderful haikus...i liked the second one..have seen that scene so many times...lovely.10
Inspired...the first is pure Orcadian, I think. The last; proverbial wisdom. And in-between...beauty in simplicity. Love the image of the earth-bound seeds caught in the web before their flight had really begun...
Those first two verses are fantastic haiku. The second one is an absolute stunner of a haiku. You enable me to be there as if it's happening right now. Magical! Alan
Beautiful and real haikus. It took me twenty five years back when I used to write haikus too. A definite 10 for these wonderful haikus. Regards Naseer
