our eyes
seek a piece of sun,
open panes
~0~0
our ears,
thrill to stormy winds,
open arms
~0~0
our lips
hunger for sea salt,
open sky
open sky

Really nice job connecting the haiku here. Love the way they work alone yet really come alive together. The senses stand out to me, first the sight, then the sound and then a combination of touch and taste, and the idea of openness shines here. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThere is something very special about those open panes!
ReplyDeleteI do yearn for the sun and I love sea salt, so I really appreciate your craft here, putting it all together. You do capture that feeling of being alive, Grace.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

ReplyDeleteGrace, you have a way of connecting your 3 quatrains so that at the end, I feel I've read a short-short story! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful capture of the spirit of the picture. Once I had read it through, I reread all the line ones, then twos, then threes - it's like another poem within a poem.
ReplyDeletelove open arms, wish I had some in front of me....
ReplyDeleteSimple and sweet :)
ReplyDeletewind and sun, I love... not so much sea salt (tis why I love Lake Michigan)

ReplyDeleteYou just took me on a vacation in Mexico with those three amazing verses. Wow...I read them through three times and was utterly relaxed when I finished. Excuse me while I head to the palapa bar for a shot of Tequila and a Negra Modelo.
ReplyDeleteI love a good use of repetition!
