Under your fast wings
passes the land and sea
Dragonfly wisdom
Passing through this world
we have more than one chance to
Pick a perfect grape
You don’t understand
I’m in your life’s passing lane
Read bumper sticker
I particularly liked the 2nd one with the chance to “pick a perfect grape.”
Thank you for your kind words!
I’m not a fan of haiku normally (don’t really see the point), but yours (in content) I like very much. The first stanza (haiku) on this page is my favourite here. So expressive .. some people’s haikus are like trying to figure out crosswords though. Thanks for posting. I enjoy your writing.
Thanks! I like the 5-7-5 pattern. I agree that there is a lot of haiku that seems to be from a formula, without much feeling beyond an abstract painting, though many people do love it. Maybe someday I will understand it better and perhaps will appreciate it more.
On twitter #haikuchallenge, there is a word of the day challenge for haiku, where people send in haikus as they write them. The word yesterday was ‘passing’. I don’t usually write flippant poetry like the last set, but it is on the challenge that I widen my focus a bit.
