Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love

- Leonard Cohen

Tackling Haiku (More)

July 31, 2007


(2)  

The palm leaves outside

stiff and curled after a storm

graceless yet it sways 

 

(3)  

I counted the stars

one pristine quiet evening

asleep in no time 

 

(4)  

A single feather

fell and rested on my hair

after one gunshot

(5)   

wiggled from its stem

a mango dropped to the ground 

to the waiting worms

 

(6)   

creepy red crablets

spewed by sea then rushed ashore

did not sting my toes 

 

I am a haiku neophyte. Just driven by curiosity, so feel free to call my attention in case I am violating any technicality (hehe). Otherwise, please go ahead. Pick and tackle the haiku of your choice.

In this life, there are so many things to talk about.
