Another submission from a fellow haiku-er (?), erikleo of All Things Creative
after looking at a galaxy
two million light years distant
I creep into my bed,
next to my sleeping wife
Haiku Submission – erikleo
Here’s a haiku submission from erikleo over at All Things Creative, an intriguing blog featuring one of our favorite poetic forms… haikus!
after my mother’s funeral
I shovel earth onto her coffin
not knowing when to stop
haiku and tanka

on the paving slab
a slug’s silvery map
sets off an apricot stone

When the last shot of X-Men 2 teased Jean Grey’s Phoenix or when Nick Fury surprised Tony Stark after the credits rolled on 2008’s Iron Man, the giddiness was palpable.
