Haiku series #14

Mar 23, 2024 – Light and Shadows (inspired by a moment)
Dancing on the wall
Light brings the world in. Shadows
Inner reflection

May 18, 2024 – Heavenly Well (inspired by a moment)
Playing hide and seek
Sun and wind in bamboo leaves
Kiss heavenly well

See the video of the moment that inspired this haiku.

Note: A heavenly well is a semi-enclosed space within a classical Chinese garden where several of the garden's elements meet (the 4 elements of a traditional Chinese garden are water, plants, rocks and architecture). Video shot at the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, Canada.

The following haiku are from prompts.

June 21, 2024 – river
When I look at you
You're never the same, changing
As the time flows by

June 24, 2024 – dawn + rain
Through my sleep
Drips a soft melody
Foggy memories

July 7, 2024 – smouldering
From a past fire
Smouldering still. Underneath,
A lurking danger

July 8, 2024 – morning cloud
Out of my dreams
Sun rises. Still on the edge
Of my morning cloud

July 27, 2024 – plum
A plump purple plum
Juicy and ripe. I'm drooling
Craving for a bite

July 28, 2024 – overcast
Sky blends with the sea
A uniform grey, leaden,
Weighing down on me

Sept 14, 2024 – sea bass
As I dive under,
life muffled by the sea, heart
bass-thumping for air

Sept 22, 2024 – twilight
A soft scattered glow
Fade into uncertainty
The night is still young
