beach grass reaches up
as if to stroke the sky's face
gentlewoman's touch

lovely....in vision and word.


(and yes. i understand that you would be swept away in the most profound beauty of love...)

sadly the word "not" is only one syllable! the word completely, which i LOVE is just too big a mouthful for haiku.

Beautiful Haiku, Meri. The relationship between Earth and Sky is very much like a courtship I think. A lovely idea and a beautiful picture.

Ah, yes, we are left with grasses now. Small mercies.
I want to walk down that sand track and see what's further down.

Gentle woman indeed. Mother Earth grows that grass, and it does seem to be touching the sky and tickling that large outcropping. I think I've been to this place, or one like it. Beautiful.

Peace.

Bonnie of Original Art Studio recently bashed what she refers to as pseudo-haiku , saying she refuses to leave comments on blogs that post them. She says, "A haiku true to its original form  should contain  a seasonal reference, not be subjective,  and contain a line that juxtaposes in clear  contrast to the other two. " `  She goes on, "Rarely do blog-posted haiku  even meet one of the criteria, let alone all three." So this week, I'm posting a haiku  from one of the masters. Does this haiku measure up?  "A Fairy Moon and a Lonely Shore" - Matsumoto Print # 39, Matsumoto Do, Ltd.
