A Poem a Day (85): 5 haiku

A handful of little 5-7-5 poems from Life's Rhythms.

She stands still, in tune

With the silence of the sea,

Its roar stifled for now.

Leaves hurtle, twisting,

Dropping without an echo –

Curved, their hands open.

I dance in circles,

I walk in the straightest line,

I sleep in a curve.

Eyes turn to the sun,

River of blue-black shimmers

On peacock feathers.

A moonlight whisper,

Streaks of cloud fingers twisting,

Stars glisten silver.
