Winter Goose
"The goose surfaced:
Its astonished eyes
Fresh from the world that underwater lies."

| I took the photo but painted in the ducks |
By the Sea
Over foam-flecked waves
in the falling night,
The wild ducks' cries are dying,
dim and white.

Wicked cold from the high winds.
I love the imagery these Haiku poems bring to my mind. And your pictures go right along with them so well. I love that you share these with us. I haven't thought about Haiku since I was in school...and they are fun, aren't they? So unique in their design and pattern of thought. Makes me stop and think. That's always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI love Haiku. It is peaceful and important I think. I received a book of Haiku from my sister called "A Net of Fireflies". It is one of the most beautiful books I own. Double pages, beautiful Japanese brush paintings and age old haikus by the masters.
DeleteI alway enjoy these Wednesday posts, Annie. Your photos go right along with them. :)
