**********

I normally like the haiku I write when they have the 5-7-5 syllable count, but this one works well shorter.

I also have a “touch-me-not” haiku that has a fun feel to it, but it will have to wait until tomorrow, as I am not near my computer and want to put an image with it. Stay tuned tomorrow!

our differences –

butterfly’s beauty

***********

I know a haiku accompanied by an image is a haiga. But I think the haiku could stand alone, so that’s what I’ve labeled it.

My Soup Cup Shivers

the gods carry out their war

A Web Between Us

her damp ebony hair is
a web between us

Leaf Shadows Play

Pass Through My Shadow

blackbird silhouettes swoop and
pass through my shadow
