The Infinite Haiku

[Violet]

... thanks Anne!

... hmm.. I'm feeling a bit lower than dirt at the moment...

[suzanneorange]

compassion revealed
in a lady's acceptance
silk purse from sow's ear

silk purse from sow's ear
beside the heaps of garbage
blue flag irises!

[lizzytysh]

blue flag irises!
wildflowers out of control
report for duty!

[anneporter]

report to duty!
ire raised by bureaucracy,
I sit and peel my orange...

[Violet]

I sit and peel my orange...
its skin a spiral falling
nectar on my lips

[lizzytysh]

nectar on my lips
peaches ripened in orchards
colour of your cheeks

[anneporter]

sorry --just read the last 2 haiku and realized I didn't count my syllables last time. My apologies to any syllable purists out there... i won't edit because Violet and Lizzy have followed on with their lovely verses, but it can be read as "I peel my orange."

[note to self: no more hasty posts]

[lizzytysh]

colour of your cheeks
strawberries still in the field
your blushing sweetness

[lizzytysh]

your blushing sweetness
yes... lift your skirt for crossing
the stream without bridge

[Manna]

stream without a bridge
water bugs climb muddy reeds
crane dangles steel beam

[anneporter]

crane dangles steel beam
backlit by the rising sun
St. John's waterfront

[lizzytysh]

crane dangles steel beam
walking stick against grey sky
man dwarfing nature


[We'll go with yours, Anne... after finally getting what I wanted with it, I couldn't bear to just let it go .]

St. John's waterfront
covered by ocean debris
hurricane now gone

[anneporter]

hurricane now gone
leaving an art deco sky
cream/lilac/ pink/ blue

Colours of the haiku girls
Lads lag way behind
