Haiku Blues




Blue and purple cliffs
reach out for heaven; instead
clouds slip through their grasp




New York’s central park:
oasis surrounded by
a concrete wasteland




Life in blues, shimmers
just under the surface of
a grey existance

  2. I find Haiku a bit restrictive, but yours here are very worthy. With Jabblog, I hope you will play again. And thank you for your comment on mine.

  5. Very nicely played
    You do haiku's really well
    I'm odd and like the second the best I must tell
    But you know I'm odd any way
    So that causes no dismay..haha

  6. Your Haiku interpretations are a delight to read. They offer a bit of freedom to discuss the graphic from three points of view, yet are related.

  8. Hi Other Mary,

    I enjoyed all three of your haiku and previous posts weren't bad either.
    Thanks for visiting my blog. I shall be back. (no pun intended)
