by Alta H. Haffner (Author)
From the gentle morning light to the stillness at dusk...
This is a blend of traditional and modern Haiku and Tanka.
Delicate imagery of cherry blossoms, dandelions, starry nights, melancholy moments and the tranquility of walking in a Japanese garden.
Tiny little stars
tucked inside an ancient language,
words that breathe within,
from season to season,
each syllable
a fingerprint pressed into time.
the cicadas scream for summer,
voices echo in my chest.
A heartbeat matched by the
pulse of this earth
reminding me that we are one...
Just dust
scattered beneath the blue sky,
painted with a million
Haiku verses.
