Feeding Over Water

piercing swallow's wings
                     
                         earth by heaven's mirror streaked

                                 ripples between worlds

mysterious actions placed, then "ripples" resolves into two planes in motion. I got dizzy. Pulitzer stuff. - fav

Hyperbolic, I know. Sorry, but I love the form so much; have read so many. It's that powerful- that fine.

Hello Maureen. I have so much respect for all of you that write in this format that is so unique. You have stayed true to the form voice and tone. All is well within the entry including the imagery. May this day find you well.

Exquisite phrasing and imagery ... for me personally, Haiku should tell a story, and yours always do. This is wonderfully rich with substance! Fav-ing. <3
