turn off all the light
eat entire bag of Snickers
write another stupid poem
# 18. Ed Baker, US
ha, ha, ha ...Ed
that is funny ......
soft rain—
my cat chases
a wool ball
# 22. Jacek Margolak, PL
I like very much the
feeling and the picture that one imagines....
two dark shadows
dancing wildly
under a willow tree
# 60. Keith A. Simmonds, TT
...a good autumn
image.
unnamed grave
a stone angel's shadow
and a few leaves
# 23. Jacek Margolak, PL
This one casts many
layers of thought, and contemplation, as well as a visual image.
I envisioned it this
way too.
homecoming—
an old cat sleeps
on my son's lap
# 27. Jacek Margolak, PL
I like the past,
present and future incorporated in this haiku.
cloudy night—
the only star
on a witch's wand
# 28. Jacek Margolak, PL
This is darling ...I
read this to my little girl .....it is a haiku of wonder...a
real 'aha'
moon shine
candle shadows do not fade
in the wind
# 38. Iga Gala-Miemus, IL
I found this imagery
fascinating. The round moon, and the round pumpkins in
moonlight...long lost the fire within, yet still have the moon
shine/glow
small hours—
a pregnant tabby cold-noses me
at the lonely taxi rank
# 39. Alan Summers, UK
I like the feeling
this gives through imagery.
A pregnant cat, carrying the life...inside...while on the
outside...the lonely cab stand...that during the day or working
hours transports people form one place to another...as the
mother transporting the birth of the kittens to this world.
Very nice.
gonna' bake
a pumpkin pie with a heart
in the middle
# 41. Betty Kaplan, US
This is very
sweet and home spun...the heart...a metaphor...or recipe of
love.
noodle bar
a wolf's moon swings
to a side street breeze
# 46. Alan Summers, UK
I can picture the
noodle swinging in the breeze as he crosses his eyes to zone
in on it...
the moon may even
appear to double...!
re-lacing the shoe
mud from yesterday's grave site
on his sole
# 48. Alan Summers, UK
There is definitely
something about this haiku...perhaps the term wabi ...could be
used...
the re-lacing...is so key to this as a whole...I know the word
sole...also projects...but I am not sure that is even needed as
a projection for the word soul...
Divine Service—
the shadow of a candle
trembling through the icons
# 49. Vasile Moldovan, RO
Hi Vasile,
I have seen this and it is
ominous...it is probably the source for the spirit-like feel one
has when attending church...
Heat scorching
the butterfly shadow enters
in a tree shadow
# 57. Vasile Moldovan, RO
Another one
that is right there in front of us...but I never gave it a lot
of thought...
it is almost like Alice in Wonderland...an
alternative world, an alter ego.
Really fascinating...
lightning flashing
and thunder rolling—
a hut in shadows
# 58. Keith A. Simmonds, TT
Hi Keith, I tweaked
this a bit...not much...as I have liked your haiku
a nice metaphor of life as well....
her satin skin
the jack-o'-lantern flickers...
flickers... goes out
# 81. Rafal Zabratynski, PL
Very sensuous and
textured.
a flurry of bats
across the gibbous moon
evening hush
# 73. Catherine J.S. Lee
We must have bats on
Hallowed Eve!!!
