Inspired by the theme at
The end of this September Heights is almost there. Just a few days to write a haiku. For today the prompt is footprint. With that prompt it must be easy to write a haiku (maybe a few).
next to my footprint
the empty shell of a hermit crab =
Ah! what a sadness
virginity lost -
the tiny footprints of sparrows

hey, you got me confused! I was just now to your other blog: Basho... Hey, you've posted different haiku here and there :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, these are very beautiful. Particularly like the last one
Both beautiful pictures! Empty crab shell was a really special touch.
ReplyDeleteI love them both, they made me ponder . . . nice!
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku. The empty crab shell was poignant.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind words here. Mariya I can understand that you're confused. Here on blogspot I am Chevrefeuille. On wordpress I write as Basho2012 because I couldn't start a blog there as Chevrefeuille. I am a haiku addict ... so I have enough inspiration to write at more weblogs.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written haiku set !!!
ReplyDeleteChev, I just love that second one.
ReplyDeleteLovely, just lovely!
