#1
Dead drifted wood
Harboring frost
Dreaming ghost branches
#2
Rising sun warms
Crystal meditation
Awakened water flows
#3
Earth thirst quenched
Knowledge released
Memories take root

love the imagery, very well done.
🙂
How lovely that was! Nicely done. smiles, Terri
Evokes an easily overlooked beauty.
Lovely written poems.
I read your 3 haiku poems and tried to leave a message on your site but couldn’t; for some reason it wanted me to sign in to Google. So I’ll leave it here, hoping you’ll see my message. I love the third haiku the best, as it made it seem that the children and the sun were cohorts playing a game – the wall and shadows being the checkerboard pieces. Very nice haiku!
Definitely creates a vivid image! Very nice!
ooo nice…i like the progression in this…from death to new life…well played…thanks for sharing it at dVerse
This is really great. A process of spring coming to, the words bring the hiberating seemingly inanimate alive. The last one seems to come back around, building memories, a way of growth as well. 🙂 Truly wonderful.
Hi Raven – For some reason I’m unable to leave comments on several non-wordpress blogs today; don’t know why, so I’ll leve it here, hoping you come back to read this reply. I read your imagry poem and loved the tension and its nature of delicateness, the plant only open to communing with sun or the gentlest breeze. Very nice indeed.
i love the Earth thirst quenched and memories taking roots…what great images…and the pic is just gorgeous..looks like a white fur…all warm in it’s icyness…nice
Thanks everyone for your encouraging replies. I love it when people respond, as I make a point of visiting their sites, and then I get to read their work, discovering awesome poets/writers/thinkers and celebrate the work of old writing friends.
These are wonderful images in haiku form. Thanks for sharing.
First one is my favorite. Very neat little micropoems.
I love this one:
“Earth thirst quenched
knowledge released
memories take root”
Lovely way to interpret the picture through poetry. Loved it.
Here is my entry: http://www.jackedwardspoetry.blogspot.com/2011/12/sorry-performance-poem.html
The thing with haiku and condensed poetry is one has to add thought to image to make it full as one has to add water to condensed milk. When one adds the depth of thought to these poems one finds the unexpected depth and a sort of imagistic metaphor – Chopped wood missing limbs..memory of that which is lost regardless of what is lost, the memory resides in the cells as long as the cells last and perhaps are remembered in the energy of the cells when they are burned..the memories released into the atmosphere. It’s what you “feel” when you walk down fifth avenue and sense returning veterans on VJ day, or walk through Montmartre and sense Chagall and the Russian painters walking past the abattoirs and hearing the cows low. They’re not there any more, and you didn’t hear them but you are surprised you sensed them when you were there and later you read they were!
Wow – you really got it. Nice examples as well. I think you have the senses of a “sensitive” soul.
Nice haiku work!
the circle of life is everywhere if only we look ….thank you for sharing x
nice intense haiku

Stunning photo of the frost! I loved your poetry, especially the line, “Earth thirst quenched.”
“Dreaming ghost branches” – love that so much.
Some excellent writing here.
Loved #3, and the rich imagery throughout – thanks for sharing!
I love #3! The icy picture is fittingly lovely, too. 🙂
It’s comforting isn’t it, when cycles return one to another. Nature heals her own, feeds her own, harsh but fair.
Nice haikus! I’ve never read anything that expressed reincarnation so well 😀
glad you liked this, magda. I see reincarnation whenever I look around me (outside). It’s comforting and connects me to the greater universe, my G-O-D.
