the earth’s shadow moves
up the chimney

lace shivers at the barnside
Martin, I’m so glad my scribbled thoughts prodded your memory! Too, I like -a brick’s shadow falls-. Brick by brick, brick on brick… or word on word… ’tis an art.

counts the autumn time
brick by brick
I like the play with chill and chimney, and shadows, in fact THE shadow, planet earth.
Was this the day of the eclipse?
A good strong haiku moving away from traditional subjects.
rock slide . . .
a passing cloud leaves the sun
where it was
beautiful and effective haiku, Martin…
autumn sunset
i turn my back
on the earth’s shadow
(good stuff Martin)
earth’s shadow
climb the steps
of my new home
Thanks everyone for your responses!
DarKmr your writing reminds me of this:
winter light
a brick’s shadow falls
on the next brick

grey columns
up to the clear sky…
cigarette smokes
sunset thru the naked limbs
lace shivers at the barnside

Great haiku, full of the space of time. Great response and discussion too.
Space and time and shadows…

Martin, I always enjoy your haiku. This one is a winner! In addition, it was posted on my birthday.
I keep stepping
on your shadow
the yellow leaves fall.
