Mask Haiku


masque en poudre pâle
bien que nous cacher au monde
yeux révèle l’âme

pale powder mask
though we hide from the world
eyes reveal the soul

A study in bilingual haiku for Haiku Horizon’s prompt: Mask


Birth


it begins at birth
for seedlings and neophytes
life’s first little death

how the dreamers groan
birthing hope in ecstasy
’twill be what saves us

A few Haiku for Haiku Horizon’s Poetry Challenge, prompt word, “Birth”.


Selfless

gracious but unwise
carrying other’s burdens
forsaking one’s own.

This haiku in response to Haiku Horizon’s Weekly Challenge, prompt word: Carry.


Do You Ribbit or Croak?


Time to get silly for my haiku blitz this evening. Did you know that toads are frogs? The dry land variety, but all part of the same classification…amphibia. I for one did not know this. (How ever did I make it this far in life?! It’s a wonder! :D)

Until now. I thought they were totally unique…like dolphins and porpoises. If you don’t know the difference between these two, it’s time to flex your Google fingers and learn something new! Never stop learning my friends!

Whether you ribbit or croak, a frog can be a toad or a frog…it’s all relative 🙂

some frogs are just toads
in need of dermabrasion
and moisturizer!

For Haiku Horizon’s weekly challenge. The prompt word this week is “Frog”.


Mending

brain cells, broken hearts,
feelings, reputations, spirits,
risk never mending

delicate flowers
twisted, then snapped from their roots
cannot be mended

amendments not meant
to ensure the greatest good
they’re best amended

A few thoughts on the word “Mend” for Haiku Horizons.
