I like writing haiku for the challenge of capturing an insight into three short lines. I have posted several on Turn-Stone. Here are six more. They follow the traditional pattern of five syllables in the first and third lines, and seven in the second.
Deep in the forest
Mushrooms appear in the duff
Up from the unknown
Seduced by the light
The moth flies into the flame
Is it the flame’s fault?
Pelicans circle
Visitors from out of time
Pleistocene grandeur
Dark nights of the soul
We seek our own Polaris
To show us the way
Tattered photographs
Ancestors look back at us
We will do the same
A lovely red rose
Reality in my hands
Its thorns can draw blood
Sandhill Cranes would be more apropos thatn pelicans… I think…
I don’t think so. To me the exotic appearance of pelicans evokes something ancient. And they do date back to the Pleistocene.
