Haiku 2-29

wind lifted clouds, high

above the far sea, reveal

the landscape again

Freya Pickard 2012

Haiku 2-22

the breeze brings in an 

excitement that the mist damped; 

spring is rising fast

Freya Pickard 2012

Haiku 2-15

everlasting cloud

drapes my world like a grey shroud;

Winter-Spring stasis

Freya Pickard 2012

Haiku 2-8

morning twilight; mist

makes a grey veil from which trees

emerge like pale ghosts

Freya Pickard 2012

Haiku 2-1

wildness without, peace

within these four walls; stillness

broken by voices

Bright carpet of trees
softly embroidered with vivid
swaying light citron leaves

What I like about this haiku is the unusual analogy. I normally think of a carpet as being at ground level eg a carpet of bluebells. Turning the canopy of trees into a carpet is different and gives the reader a sense of height as she looks down at the citron leaves. I liked the delicate nature of this carpet that the writer conveys by describing it as "softly embroidered". Freya
