The Mag 107

Published for: Magpie Tales

Well ... a new Sunday to write a haiku to accompany a picture as published today on Magpie Tales. Last week I couldn't write a haiku for the picture, but this week's picture is lovely ... so let's do it.

What do I see? I see a guy standing for a picture of a woman's face ... her eyes staring at him. What does this picture ... bring to me ... how to write a haiku that can accompany this picture.

mysterious eyes
working like a magnet
I am possessed 


I am possessed
through the eyes of my girl
nailed to the ground


nailed to the ground
I wonder what she's doing with her
mysterious eyes

This is called a cascading haiku. It's a haiku form I am exploring.

See you next time.

Almost Spring

Departure of winter. It's almost there Spring the season of new life, glorious blossoms, lovely young green leaves, lambs, young birds and so on. Spring is one of my favorite seasons, but I am a great fan of autumn. I have written a few new haiku on spring.

fading moonlight
caresses the fragile blossoms
finally spring

finally spring
the cold dark winter says his farewell
clump of snowdrops

clump of snowdrops
beneath the fragile cherry blossom
fading moonlight

I hope you enjoyed the read :-)

The Haiku Challenge, day 23

Written for The Haiku Challenge 2012 - Day 23 – February 23rd – Theme: Joy of Giving Form: (ABC, CDE, EFA) - Haiku

Another haiku form I am not so familiar with. I have read some of these on Ramesh's weblog. I love this form, so this is a real challenge for me. But I have to try before I die :-) (just a proverb people use here in The Netherlands).

Joy of Giving

wonderful verses of the Far East

Naisaiku, scattered silence

Jamaican Lizard Cuckoo

On my poetry blog I have published a few Naisaiku and ... well I have to say it's a wonderful manner to write haiku. So I thought "I have to publish a Naisaiku on my haiku-blog". This one is made from an older haiku I have written a few years ago.

cry of a cuckoo

breaks through the early day -

scattered silence

scattered silence

breaks through the early day -

cry of a cuckoo
