Why not take a renewed dip into this compressed but still highly dramatic form that celebrates many elusive instances in Life, if only we observed and applied more the way a child intently watches and concentrates on playing at the same time? A secondary (by the way only) source of amazement is how each haiku shared in G+ gathers a hundred or so views. The number of hits is visible to the writer. Connections are being made everywhere. All it takes is a passion to pursue and continue those connections. In other words, don't stop believing. Keep on writing to your own natural and fascinatin' rhythm.
These six haiku are gifts to the oldest of my two children, Kimi, who turns 30 at midnight. Haiku birthday, K!
on this June morning
fullness of the moon unseen
stillness of tides...time

camera captures
what eludes a pair of eyes
fly on a petal

i watched the light dance
with shadows on grains of wood
but beer he wanted

what is summer's sound?
is it this gramophone's blast
glorious in purple?
June 7, 2015
now that my prayer
flag is faded, twice folded
intentions remain
June 8, 2015
a green world it sees
down side up in its brief life
wings in the morning
