a few haiku

By Rafe

the open ocean

peace amidst the foaming waves

happiness under sail

~

turbulence above

held up by a black silk wing

clouds as stepping stones

~

art as fired clay

potters wheel the implement

thought turns into real

    A wonderful trio of haikus with great depth beyond their 51 syllables.

  • A former member wrote: ..in their seperate breaths of tongue, these seem to be quite symmetrical..I am not sure whether that was intentional, or if they were written as seperate visions.. but each one, alone and, then brought into circumspect together.. rather compelling.

  • A former member wrote: Well done, I must say.. the second haiku struck me as the most enchanting.. in a distanced sort of fashion.. thank you.
