Haiku Heights April Challenge, day 12 "coherent"

Day 12 of our Haiku Heights April Challenge is on. The theme is "coherent". I didn't know the meaning of coherent so I had to search (again) for the meaning and synonyms of coherent. Coherent means understandable and I found the next synonyms of coherent crystal, manifest, sharp, plain and simple.

crystal clear

fresh fallen snow in the backyard -

in the full moonlight

waving branches sharp and bare

winter landscape

departing geese, leaving the cold,

snow is falling

snow is falling

covering Mother Earth's body

crystal clear

See you tomorrow.

Haiku Heights April Challenge, day 11 "possible"

Day 11 in our Haiku Heights April Challenge. Not an easy one for today ... possible ... a tough one I think. So I have searched for synonyms for possible and came up with the following series of synonyms: available, breeze (in the non-formal way), desirable, hopeful and promising. So for today I will try to use these in my contribution to the Haiku Heights April Challenge.

promising dreams

in the midst of the summer
her first born child


her first born child
lies in her arms sobbing
hopeful new day


hopeful new day
available in yellowish
a great sunflower

a great sunflower
desirable to bright sunlight
bows his head to earth

bows his head to earth
a possible new flower opens
promising dreams

Well ... not entirly what I would like it to be, but ... this is a experiment ... painting with words without saying something ... No not a great contribution I think.

Haiku Heights April Challenge, day 10 "summer"

Another day in the Haiku Heights April Challenge. Today summer is the theme. A little bit early maybe, but why not write a haiku on summer.

Haiku Heights April Challenge, day 9 "seashore"

Hello to you all, challengers of Haiku Heights. Today I have to come up with a good one. Why? Because I suggested the prompt for today. Seashore ... what can I do with this prompt? Enough I think, but still had some trouble to write a nice haiku set for today.

I am living in The Netherlands and as no other country can, we the dutch know what it is to live at the seashore. Our country is a low country and we are continuing our fight to the sea. The seashore to me is a place to contemplated and meditate. The sound of the waves breaking on the beach ... the rustling of the wind ... seagulls screaming ... ah what a wonderful place to be.

Well let's go do some haiku writing. Again I have chosen for the cascading form (Ramesh you made me an addictive to that form). I love that cascading form, looks like the movement of the waves.

sea wind through my hair

This was my contribution to the Haiku Heights April Challenge for today. See you again tomorrow.
