rusty boat
bows down in silence,
dying fire
~0~0~
nestled in green field,
old brown boat heaves one last sigh:
unforgettable
~0~0~
boat graveyard,
filled with jade gold leaves,
quiet sea
Posted for: Haiku Heights: Green - Just got back from a short vacation, so catching up with all of you ~
and Imaginary Garden with Real Toads: OpenLinkNight
Pensive ... yet tranquility in this graveyard!!
ReplyDeleteCaptured the essence of the pick indeed and I wonder if any treasure is hidden away in there, hmmm haha
ReplyDeleteA lovely group of over-lapping haiku to compliment the image.
ReplyDeleteI love it Grace:)
ReplyDeletethat's so sad :(
ReplyDeleteAh, but the storms she's known n the stories she could tell.
ReplyDeleteEven the sea in quiet, pays homage.
Very nice, grace

Yes--the Haiku capture the image: rust, silence, green, brown, graveyard, jade leaves. You make it feel temple like all-in-all: I found I could read all third lines and have a complete memorial poem. It works a little with the others as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to see boats in their grave. Nicely done :)
ReplyDeletehope you had fun on your brief away time grace....great capture..saw these at reenas and they are marvelous pics to write on...you capture a bit of the magic of them in your verse as well...
ReplyDeleteSomeone must have left those boats there and not cared about them for a long time.
ReplyDeleteLove the haiku...giving beauty to such a sad thing as a rusted boat.
ReplyDelete...boat graveyard...oh the stories that could be told. Nice haiku set!
ReplyDeleteSadly a reminder of what's in store 'after a shelf life' of goodness! Beautiful haiku, Grace!

ReplyDeleteLovely haiku for things of past.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice vacation, Grace. Your words here are a beautiful return!
