Wolf Spirit, your call
from your misty mountain lair
sends my soul keening
***
footprints in the sand
my heart follows where they lead
till I'm home again
***
bonsai in the bog
a little touch of Asia
in Clayoquot Sound
***
shore birds on the sand
lift, dart, swoop and land as one
summer joy in flight
***
in the following I tried 7-5-7
Luna leaves as Sol arrives
Sun and Moon - same sky
little boat chugs happily
***

ReplyDeleteI like them all, but the ending piece I simply love--the dance between Luna and Sol, how good they are at sharing, the way they keep on keeping on...
ReplyDeleteI love each one.
ReplyDeleteI love the footprints in the sand... it works so well for me... when you put them in a series I always try to draw a line between them...

The accumulation pleases, but none so much as that little boat under the same sky as all the rest.
ReplyDeleteThe following footprints to home haiku is my favorite, although they all strike a wild chord in me!
ReplyDeleteThese were wondrous my friend but, the first one comes from deep inside your heart.
