Haiku + Senryu

Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.
- paraphrased from Michael Dylan Welch's Graceguts

afterlife...




afterlife
new signs in new times
new carpet ride


NOTE
In memory of Kat Creighton who loved the beach, the sea in New Jersey.
Her haiku blog was my ninth life.
Her gift from a friend, a seashell angel, was her most recent avatar on Facebook.

over the edge

of a wooden boat
fingertips counting the moments
to ever after

alternative...




filtered dress styles
bending the bars of culture
for cooling comfort

at the edge of the tide
wondering if it's too late
to make another choice

absolution...




church neighbour
does a rising resort need
absolution


The new 2 storey Nepean resort is being built right next door to old St Mark's church in Dromana.
They are both right opposite the beach.

my days may be grey...




my days may be grey
I may be shrouded in mist
but somewhere sun  shines


NOTE:
The photo above was taken on the Dromana foreshore track - December 2011.
Summer was just beginning.

crazy cold weather
spawns no reason to uproot
a walk on the beach

Storm riddled cloud worlds
Like an army of darkness
The drone of weather

When grey wild winds...




When grey wild winds howl
And the sea seems unfriendly
Souls feel disgruntled

Each weekend I will post a haiku frame of my moment
