Playing with Haiku
Waves flaunt their muscles
Sea suds quiver like jello
God washes my feet.
***
First gather the eggs
Scramble them in a glass bowl
See what hatches.
***
Do not be afraid
Deep in the dung and the dark
The hour to praise.
***
Footprints in the sand
Buried by high-rising care
Beauty carries you.
***
We walk in darkness
Dance by the light of the moon
Turtles are nesting.
***
Tried to go alone
Sucked under by the current
Disobeyed the flags
***
Fragrance of green grass.
Stopping to smell the flowers
Fall in Florida
I’ve been taking another workshop with Megan Willome through Tweetspeak Poetry called “The Joyful Partnership of & Memoir. This is a smattering of haiku verses I shared in class. Some read them as a one poem with haiku’d verses with a beginning and an end, though I was only slapping single poems together. What do you think?
Love the haikus, Sandra! You are so gifted!
You make me smile, Martha. Thank you. 🙂
