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 Sunday – Sea of Life 2
“Sea of Life 2”
Thus is one person;
A mote of dust to an age,
Lost in life’s current.

haiku and tanka
Happy Haiku Sunday! Here’s a haiku/tanka piece from erikleo, simplistic yet intriguing. Check out more of his work: erikleo.wordpress.com
on the paving slab
a slug’s silvery map
sets off an apricot stone
the Arctic terns have flown south –
late August, alone in a bird hide
sitting in the sun –
a tiny insect crawls across
my poem
godwits drilling the still pond –
ripples in the universe
watching bumble bees spiral into petals
I rub lavender leaves between fingers
releasing scent
but it doesn’t ease
my throbbing head
Haiku Sunday – Sea of Life
“Sea of Life”
Is a wave mere dust
A speck of foam in the tide
Rolling ever on?

Haiku Sunday – Sunrise
“Sunrise”
Soft hues streak the sky
Water glistens silver-gold
The world is yet hushed

Haiku Sunday – Elm
“Elm”
Here will I remain
Soon to tower, life renewed
Under sapling elm.

Haiku Sunday – Road
“Road”
The road winds ahead
But together we may go
Hold my hand a while

Haiku Sunday – Anticipation
“Anticipation”
I long for her sway
Enveloped in her eddy
Floating aimlessly
