CLASH OF THE SYMBOLS
Along nature park,
Ladybug roams Petunia;
Swallow perched on branch.
AMBIENCE
Courtyard stroll displays,
Tulips tucked as Jasmine bloom;
Cloud covers full moon.
KING’S VICTORY
Amidst forest road,
Cheetah concedes Lion’s lunge;
Carcass near tree stump.
WHAT LIES AHEAD
Midday at seaside,
Sail of ship roughened by waves;
Lightning strikes land.
PUREST MORNING
Gardenias petals;
Hold dewdrops moisture and heat –
Summer bees invade.
CIRCLE OF LIFE
Field of Daffodils;
Leaves wither on moth pupa –
Cardinal flies by.

Creating haiku feeds my soul but I also love to write short fiction, mini travel logs, and history pieces.
This haiku is part of our Dancing Goddess theme.
Taking Flight
colorful display
delightful array rising
headed for the sky
While this image may seem the only reason for these words, go a little deeper. I feel like it’s a great image of the type of world I want to live in. We are surrounded by so many beautiful people of all colors, we must choose to lift them up and let them rise to their potential – literally the sky’s the limit!
Coming Of Age
though new and daunting
boldly i will venture out
determination

should a thousand miles
separate us from a kiss
I would chart a course
Kept Safe
my essence hidden
in the shadows within me
i dare not expose
Published at Pure Haiku – 2nd Piece – Dancing Goddess Theme!
The image was delightful and the selected pieces presented have been lovely. So happy to have another piece published on this theme. Please take a moment to visit the others on her website.
Thank you, Freya!

This incredibly beautiful image crossed my Facebook news feed (Thank you Jesica Nodarse!) and I just had to share it with you all. Of course, the first thing that struck me was the color. Anything purple, it being my favorite color, always attracts my attention right away. In looking deeper, when I compare the original image below to the efforts she made with her colors, shading and placement, I’m just in awe of it! There’s such a feeling of mystery but yet so much strength within her image. Would love to hear your thoughts on the image, and even what you think of her other work. I think it’s all beautiful.
Winter Rain
tetchy beginning
water droplets echoing
setting tone today
