Thanks b.m.richardson!I am really so pleased reading your comment together with your haiku.It is wonderful although you disliked my haiku, it secceeded to touch something and to remain in you.You say:” it is difficult to understand”…I’d say: no need to understand…just to feel the moment.
tanya, again, your words artfully delivered; “just feel the moment”. to this i add, try not delving into every nook and cranny in life, simply go with the flow. recalling the nursery rhyme, “row row row your boat gently down the stream… ”
it wasn’t your haiku i expressed disliking. it’s all haikus in general; for their brevity; i have this thing for verboseness.
I like a shoulder haiku, it’s so romantic! ;-)
her black hair
catching sunlight
on his shoulder
its so beautiful…i wonder why this received only one response while your other one had more..i find this so much more “haiku like”.
Thanks Alan – yes, it is! Your haiku is very sensuous- I like it!
Vineeth, thank you! I received six responses on my e-mail address.
subtle-
artful, cunning in design
delicate in texture
and yet, difficult to understand
now, after how many days, once again i’m set upon by my (dislike) for the haiku.
after saying all this, tanya, you’ve reminded me why i keep returning to the haiku…
–
midnight darkness-
her silky silhouette blends in
