Haiku for me, Haiku for you

[LilacWine]

Throughout the woodlands
surviving man and the axe
is an uphill path

[Mlou]

The gold of autumn
cannot be stored like treasure
except in mem'ry

[LilacWine]

hey you! you with the
camera. five bucks a shot
for this sea lion.

[pengwenn]

listen to the sounds
of nature for they will tell
man of his future

[LilacWine]

Lone tree on a hill
listens for whispers from others
carried on the wind.

[Mlou]

Plains of far-seeing
where the wind sweeps endlessly
'neath forever skies.

[LilacWine]

Luminous full moon,
ripe fruit in an empty sky,
so slowly you fall.

[LilacWine]

Big cat, little cat,
all cats play in fields of grass,
all cats are still cats.

[Mlou]

Serengeti Plain
where the big cats take their ease
just lion around.

(Oooh, bad one!)

[LilacWine]

Dawn finds crystals strung
on silk, a gift from the Night
to Ariadne

[Mlou]

Come, the earth beckons,
showing jewels of delight
to our dazzled eyes

[LilacWine]

Arctic circle games
include glacier tag, snowball
and pop goes the seal

[Mlou]

The chill of winter
lingers with me all year round
until your return.

[LilacWine]

How small one can feel
when between the sky and sea
and how large as well

[Mlou]

Cheetahs on the plain
sleek and swift, they hunt their prey,
a force of nature.

[LilacWine]

After the hunting
predator and prey convene
in the grace of death

[Mlou]

Third time up for these pictures. Sure wish they'd get some new ones.

[Mlou]

Leap into the stream
cool and rippling, waiting for
a water ballet

Hey Mlou checked out your Haikus. Great work! You havfe this amazing eye for beauty in every situation that never ceases to enthrall me. Just back from exams and all. Two tough months. I'm begining to look more like a zombie now who returns back alive (from death) after every period of examination.

Hey, LilacWine. How small and how big.... what a keen observation!!! Looking forward to see more of both of you. Have fun writing (need I even say it? )

[Mlou]

Purty...glad you survived exam time! Do you get a summer vacation? Maybe we'll see some of your writing occasionally now, huh?

[purty_trash]

ya we do get summer vacs Mlou, but I spend most of it covering my syllabus and a part in writing. I've got four short stories and an incomplete fifth. All have been the products of summer vacs.

[Mlou]

In cool rivulets
waters course the hillside to
union with the sea.

[LilacWine]

Hhmmm. PG-13 haiku. Well done.

[Mlou]

Through silken water
geese make their stately passage
in ripples of light.

[LilacWine]

A clear northern lake
under an indigo sky,
geese ripple the calm.
