The Gooseberry Garden Poetry Picnic "children"

The Gooseberry Garden's Poetry Picnic

For The Gooseberry Garden a few haiku about children and their actions. It wasn't easy, but I have search my data base of haiku and found some nice haiku with children as theme (or their actions). There could be a haiku you have read earlier on this weblog, but also new ones:

on the beach
next to the prints of the little boy
an empty shell

peacock throne

my granddaughter
wedged between the cushions
on the peacock throne

a peacock throne is a large chair with a large fan-like back


the little child sobs
'I want to cross it!' -
the rainbow bridge



on bare feet
a street urchin plays
in the snow


the pouring rain
young boys playing on the beach
soaking wet


an abandoned shell
cracks under the foot of a child -
cicadas singing


little birdie, little birdie!
the little child screams
on the golf course

look daddy!
the little child yelled
the full moon

And a last one, about questions of children.

cochlea (or snail house)


empty cochlea
hidden under fallen leaves
'where lives that snail?'

Well I think this has to be it. Children, love them, they are so pure and honest.

Sincerely,

Until the next Poetry Picnic.
