cedar blue evening
day breath held beneath titans
sun offers me stairs

I love a haiku, & my grandaughter likes it too. I read to her and have her read to me. So she will fall in love with reading and writing too :)

This is metaphorical haiku, which I happen to really like though some say not to use metaphors in haiku. I think it makes it very beautiful, Sheri. REally lovely this one! SEe ya. Andrea

Nice haiku! What are the "titans"? Are they the giant planets? Intresting! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

The titans are the cedar--they have the color, but they make the stairs and are giant, thanks for the welcomes everyone :) Sheri

This poem is quite evocative! Who are the "titans"? As to astronomy I once went to a "star party" and saw the rings around a distant planet. Welcome to Poetry Soup! Peace & blessings Matthew Anish "

Such a beautiful haiku, Sheri! And you can write to an author by going to one of their poems and clicking on the soup bowl next to their name at the top of the poem. It's called Soup mail. To check your own mail, just click on the "My Soup Mail" in the left-hand column. Welcome to poetry soup! Love, carolyn
