Stepping through Moonlight--Haiku
by Wayne Thomas (Age: 58)
copyright 05-16-2008


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
(A word for those who think writing these things is easy: true,anyone can syllable out 5-7-5, but making a poem out of it all is WORK!)

hot august moonlight--
sunflowers wilting of thirst
white clouds hide the stars

Cloudy August night,
hazy in my gray eyepiece
a glimpse of Pico.

Soft, the lights of town--
blue misty watercolor
bathes in the moonlight.

College Days!
moon by my pillow
a half-written poem pencilled out--
but school comes early!

ghostly silver leaves
murmuring--moonlight verses
brushing my window

flock of moonbeams, bright
feathering through the bean vines--
mosquitoes humming

Half moon, like a torch,
hovers over the village--
no breeze to push it.

handful of moonbeams
soft against Dad's easy chair
run through my fingers

through a young girl's hair
a shaft of yellow moonlight
waiting for the dawn

flashing bright sunshine
laughing through the morning gray
rolling back the night

Excellent collection of Haiku, I studied Haiku writing for six months in Tokyo.
IMHO you have captured the spirit of Haiku and Zen in this wonderfully written collection.
Thanks for these,

Rich

You BET it's hard work! I was at my wits end with my poem "Diamonds: Reflections Of Haiku" at http://www.prose-n-poetry.com/display_work/812
(which was also a string of Haiku).

Technical thought...
hot august should be capitalized, no?

And I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite stanza, though this one keeps repeating my mind and making me smile over and over again...

College Days!
moon by my pillow
a half-written poem pencilled out--
but school comes early!

I really like the visuals you create, the phrases you use, and the images they evoke.

* Sunshine ... rolling back the night

* Half moon... hovers.. no breeze to push it

Sigh... I think I'll read this one again!!! :-)

Great job!

What a lovely set of Haiku, one of my favorite forms. Love things short and to the point, and especially enjoy the last line of Haiku which gives it its punch. I actually counted all your syllables, You strayed only once, lol. Thanks for a most pleasant read........June

What can I say? This is a beautiful weaving of a
tapestry of life, cycling through a day. The visions, the sounds, the memories, and so much more--all found a favorable reception in my company.

You did yourself proud with these haiku and gave us some of that pride as gift.

Thank you! ^_^
