Haiku Series I: Levels of a Pond

pond mirrors dawn:

 losing its feet bittern 

bows to sip gold 

  
reeds sprout from blue sky, 

a frog jumping into clouds 

misses lily-pad 

 
a lotus droops 

kissing its lotus-self, 

sky and sun ripple 

  
between frog croaks  

calm hovers with dragonflies 

bliss above the pond

From Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #6 new ways Friday, September 1, 2017

prompted three haiku from me:

 

2017-09-02 haiku red sky

red sky morning

whips scarlet and darkened clouds

into hurricanes

2017-09-02 sunset stills

sunset stills the sea

except rings of blood droplets:

rising crimson tide

2017-09-02 haiku triptych

painting a nova:

whorls of red concentric waves

thrown from dazzling light
