doubts are like blue dust
covering your skin and face,
dead gold fish on bowl
~0~0
dust off the doubts in
your mind, your words will sparkle,
even at the dark
~0~0
seeds of doubt
wrapping fingers, hands,
blank pages

Is true sigh!
ReplyDeleteLove the simile in the first line and the beautiful way the first haiku runs with it. Then the second haiku turns the noun "dust" into an action!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo ~ like the line 'dust off your doubts' ~ lovely haiku ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
ReplyDeleteSometimes one must just shut off their mind and jump in. Doubts are nothing but a crutch most times.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely haiku and the picture is beautiful. I especially like "dust off the doubts in your mind" Thank you .
ReplyDeletebeautifully expressed grace ... and awesome picture :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice Haikus. Especially like the first one. Very cool metaphor. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set....I loved the 2nd one...'Words will sparkle' so pleasant to hear
ReplyDeleteA terrific trio. Self doubt is the hardest to shake off.
ReplyDeletevery deep and intense Haiku...loved the 3rd one... :)
ReplyDeleteVery true. I really like that first one.
ReplyDeleteDoubt is so ingrained ... it takes so little to create it and so much to erase it. And based on the idea that ego is only 1% of our mind --- that is giving up tremendous power -- yet we too often fall in its trap!! Nicely done, Grace!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my Day 4 ~~ Suspicion Erupts.
nice haiku...i was telling another on the doubt train...doubts really dont bother me...or questions...i think they are def a path to deepening our faith...
ReplyDeleteConcise and tight...just the way truth should be. Heaven, the imagery employed here can only be described as finesse.
ReplyDeleteI have been acquainted with the third example of doubt...
