haiku – Page 7 – One Woman's Quest

Beholder

(Inspired by Ragtag Community’s prompt: sumptuous, and Fandango’s: common)

Late Afternoon Sun

Fragmented dazzle
alters scene – serene moment
rendered tenuous.

(Haiku written for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: serene/scene. Also inspired by the prompts of Ragtag Community: dazzle, and Fandango: tenuous. Image from personal collection.))

Lack a Fool Makes

Anchored, no money –
lack has a way of turning
dreams into fool’s gold.

(Dug up this haiku from August 2015 for today’s prompts: Ragtag Community and Fandango both choosing ‘fool’. Image from personal collection.)

Watching

Beneath mossy beards
weathered faces watch, listen –
silent witnesses.

Calm

Mirrored, the silence
echoes through my soul – invites
a deep soothing calm.

(It’s open link night at the dVerse pub, hosted by Kim. Thought I’d drop by with a bit of a calm. Image from personal collection.)

Test of Character

The knight’s bravado
is all well and good, until
the dragon wakens.

(A haiku for Willow Poetry’s What Do You See? challenge – the featured photograph.)

Nonchalant

Duck’s disposition
I admire – to glide, sail
through rainy weather.

(For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku challenge: swim & float. Image from personal collection.)

Turmoil

Fierce the gathering
clouds laden, heavy – my heart
echoing the storm.

(For Ronovan Writes Haiku challenge: fierce & storm)

Progress

Man, possessed of mind,
logic driving ambition –
magic overlooked.

(For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku challenge: man & magic)

Chickadee

Black and white flashes
disrupt the tangle of grey –
heart-soaring sweetness.
