Sitting Behind the Eight Ball

Nature’s Magic: Showing my love through haiku.

Today, I celebrate the magic of moonlight and the glory of dawn. Views from my backyard.

Drowning
magic moon whispers 
lovingly between heart-shaped 
leaves, follow me home

Siren's Call
silvery moonlight
silently seduces souls
captured by its light
 


dawn shyly rises 
her fresh pink blush caresses
golden shores, dreaming

Hello, I am a retired English teacher. I live along the Mississippi River and enjoy watching birds, the river, and nature in general. Writing for me is a gateway to healing, and I love to wrestle words in hopes of capturing an emotion or image others may relate.

    Barb, I love these photos, especially the third one w/ the pink. Your haiku is wonderful. Excellent alliteration.

    Barb, we are speaking the same language today with Haiku. I didn’t blog one today, but I spent my morning with my middle school writers group using Haikubes to introduce them to the form. They wrote some impressive ones! I love the silvery moonlight that seduces….your two moon poems and a dawn poem provide gorgeous imagery. And the alliteration and economy of words adds to the effect of imagining these glorious pictures. Your pictures enhance the poems nicely, too. I need to come sit in your back yard and have coffee and breathe. Wow. Peaceful place!
