Haiku #54-56
#54
bright colors on grey
the first cloud break after rain
single ray of light
#55
cracked and overgrown
carefully fitted stone walls
stand long forgotten
#56
cold winter downpour
there are bats in the chimney
chittering madly
-
Haiku #48 and #49
48.
bright golden hills
burnt crisp by the summer sun
warming the horizon
49.
on a country road
cicadas at golden hour
we cast long shadows
notes: Almost at 50. The goal is still 100, for totally arbitrary reasons. The goal should probably be 365 one for every day of the year or something, but I'm going to stick to 100. Its a nice fat pleasing number ( Read more... ) -
Haiku #47
a strong desert wind
lifting dust from sun burned ground
cool before sunset -
Haiku #45 & #46
#45
low November sun
washing the world in silver
fading the colors
#46
the hills turn purple
drenched by the soft rose sunset
on the long drive home
-
Haiku #44
(for the first real rain of the season)
grey heavy dampness
pouring rain over dry earth
fall already gone
-
Haiku #41, #42 and #43
Florida in October
#41
Sunrise behind you
creeping around the buildings
to tint the clouds rose
#42
The clouds look unreal
cotton puffs pasted in rows
on bright blue paper
#43
Early morning gulf
waves barely lapping the shore
breeze still cool at dawn
-
Haiku #A
shanghaied legionnaire
the ocean, like the desert
goes on forever
Outside of the normal haiku group...maybe the letter group will become its own thing? Some of you probably know where this came from (the haiku theme, not my penchant for outline style numbering).

Haiku #40
Like a new green plant
I am made for the sunlight
long days in fresh air -
Haiku #39
Thinking about Tennessee in late fall
the smell of damp leaves
bare trees disappear in fog
a remembered fall -
Haiku #38
ode to a memory, written at 3am
walking home at dawn
after a long sleepless night
watching the world wake
Notes: some moments stick with you in a very visceral way even after others have gained the faded sepia tone haze of memory. I don't remember what I was working on (sound editing I think, or possibly shooting animation cells on film), but I ( Read more... )
