in a dragonfly’s glide—
noon shadows

  1. Kala:
    So lovely — the stillness — extraordinary!

    shimmering indigo
    the suspended damselfly

  2. really very beautiful – in the true spirit of haiku.. short, richly vivid, matter-of-fact and hints of something profound

  3. kala, another day, once again, has brought us together. even before reading your haiku, a smile could be felt.
    your words are indicative of true musical abilities; pausing on notes, gliding on others, all, afternoon delights. thoroughly sincere, thoroughly genuine.

    spring rush
    my eyes closed–
    wing beats brush my face
