Fascination with Haiku


I'll give you a haiku-less post tomorrow
but for today, another one.



stone tears coalesce
cling somehow to an eyelid
sorrow  spilling out

so tenderly written. very expressive and beautifully done. i think everyone needs to express their sorrows occasionally so as not to let it consume them.

your day lily haiku is really nice too. love the fireworks line. have a great night.

The photo reminds me of a Herman Hesse novel, Siddhartha. It is a beautiful and heart-opening haiku about the sacredness of tears. Profoundly tender.

Lovely. Haikiu's always escaped me. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I don't write on that one enough anymore, now that I spend my days writing in a full time job. I hope you come back again!

Astrological Profile

So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
