Keys - rippling zebras,
each hoof-note adding thunder
to their fiery song.

Tinkling through open windows
piano music
on a summer afternoon.

Brave at the sundance
one piano key in the
universal song.

Haiku! Aaaaiiieeeee!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to become a Haiku fan you would persuade me Sherry. These are all lovely but I especially love the rippling zebras! How wonderful! Love it!
ReplyDeleteRippling Zebras! I can hear the beat. But the second Haiku strikes home. I love opening the front windows and letting the music float free.
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to piano music now. Your haiku talent is wonderful and I'm happy to read it while music is playing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful trio of haikus, Sherry! BravO!
ReplyDeleteI like haiku. Enjoyed. By the way I check spam regularly now so I'll always catch your comment. I asked my techie son how to sort it out and he advised the only way is repetition of comment - it'll eventually fix itself.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this week's post is experimental, trying to find the right formula between simplicity, yet still being a window to let people see what the prompt sites offer in order to bring new participants through sister site, keyudos. Since you visited, I've simplified it further. Can I ask you to return and see if it's better now?
Nice Haiku!
ReplyDeleteLoved the shifting moods and the brief glimpses of herds and summer and awe.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart ... my favorite form Haiku! Yours are tremendously satisfying.
ReplyDeleteWow! My favorite is the first, but they are all a delight.
ReplyDeleteNice senryu!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all 3 of these. Wonderfully composed Sherry!
ReplyDeleteNice Haiku, Sherry. When I think of "Sundance" I think of a neighbor's son who converted to American Indian. He changed his name to Sundance, he and his wife now live in a tent on his dad's farm. Mrs. Jim has a cousin living in Louisiana who also converted. We see him and his wife at her family reunion time. He has figured out the Indigenous religion and carrie's a prayer stick.

You could still learn to play piano. I took Piano 101 and 102 at the community college where I taught before I retired. Then you too would be playing the "Bill Grogen's Goat" sung

Oh the hoofnotes of zebras! So imaginative ... and the soothing beauty of the second one. And the one note, yet universal... What a trio!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! My fav was the first one of course! Never could turn down a zebra song.
