Haiku 8

ancient lighthouse stands
tiny sailboat drifts alone
warm wind finds a song

In response to what you told me, Your lovely sister sounds like a saint. If I lived alone and had money, I too would adopt various animals and let them stay in my home. But it is not something I can do in my circumstances. And probably I would be a "cat lady!"

Dear Donna: A lovely haiku fragment. I can see the lighthouse. I feel the song of the stray wind. I hear the somnolent sing-song of the midday breeze. You have capture an Aha! moment here. Well done. Leon

Hey kayode...thanks so much for the visit..:-) :-) the song comes to me when the wind catches the sail and pops and rustles them...wakes you up from daydreaming....:-) :-)

This is a glorious write, I really enjoyed reading this delightful poem this evening! I love all three elements that you have presented within this natural piece...Lighthouse, Sailboat, and the Wind [with the Song], are all phenomenal, Great Work!!

March 3, 2014 at 6:13 PM

Thank you Russell...every time I sailed..years ago..when all was quiet and then the wind would pop and rustle the sails...catch the wind...it was like that to me...appreciate your visit..
