lush forest
brimming black verses,
pining heart
~0~0
pines in the forest
flaming red in misty wild,
ink of my black pen
~0~0
pine for the blue sky
white geese flying to the sun,
new page in my book

Grace, this is amazingly beautiful. I love how the words change around in each stanza to bring forth amazing haiku. Love the final two lines especially - and the red pines - what makes them red?
ReplyDeleteWonderful to read first thing this weekend!
Thanks Sherry ~ I have no idea what made them so red but they look so pretty ~
DeleteI've seen a red-tinged, Christmas pine tree - turned that colour because it had died! Oh, dear - hope that wasn't the reason behind your trees, Grace. Great haiku, as ever.
DeleteThat first one is sooooooo effing cool, it may be one of my favorite ever Haiku...wow. That one jsut fills me up. Don't get me wrong, they are all fantastic, but that one blew me away, gave me the chills. You are everyday amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Corey for the wonderful words ~
DeleteI love the picture so much, I had to come over to read your words. Each haiku is exquisite and I love how they are linked by colour and the pen motif.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is spectacular, I agree ~ Thanks Kerry ~
DeleteLove the picture and the haiku:) have a nice weekend dear Grace!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gloria ~ Its our long weekend here ~
DeleteThese are all so lovely and paint a vivid picture, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThree excellent variations on a theme, loved them all!
ReplyDeleteso what was the pine a metaphor for in this poem?
ReplyDeleteHi Dez ~ I used the pine as metaphor in the second haiku ~
Deletesmiles...i like how you play with pine in each of them...the forest and heat in the first...the yearning and your notebook in the last...and best of all its just great to see something by you...smiles.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian ~ I have been busy with work so my muse is tired ~ Will try to catch up over the next few days ~
DeleteIt almost sounds as if that new page in your book has taken wings and flown with wind--elusive little page!
ReplyDeleteTime to Say Good-Bye
These are beautiful! Love each of them.
ReplyDeleteAt least three of the haikus this week paid hommage to pine. Funny how these connections happen and the haikus themselves were all lovely and all so different in content and vision.
ReplyDeleteLove these Grace but your third with the double meaning in pine is excellent! Great writing!!
ReplyDeletedear grace....
ReplyDeletei find your writing so pictorial as if painted with your heart. lovely and deep play on words...and always your profound willingness to reveal just enough to keep us hoping for more. thank you for being here!
Absolutely beautifully entwined. Well, well, done Grace. This set is one of my favs of yours.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! For me the second one is the best!!!
ReplyDeleteAll i can say is its the most intriguing one i have read :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, the picture also. I have never seen pines turned red (could the picture be enhanced ?) In Spain pines are green all the year round.
