we observe our world 
painted hidden in secret-
from behind the mask

Haiku - Butterfly

Haiku - Butterfly

i dream to be free-
visit open field daisies
as the butterfly

Carpe Diem's "Little Creatures" #2, "I dreamed I was a butterfly" (Soshi)

Haiku - Wall

Walls

the wall has been built
hence await for visitors-
we stand by the gate

 Maybe that wall is also the wall about which Khalil Gibran says the following:

[...] "After all this is not a bad prison; but I do not like this wall between my cell and the next prisoner’s cell; Yet I assure you that I do not wish to reproach the warder not the Builder of the prison".[...]

[...] "Sadness is but a wall between two gardens". [...]

giving room to wild flowers

**I don't like to give explanation or add too much in hopes the haiku speaks for itself. I would like to add. I think walls people build (or are helped built for them) are individual; as the door they have to that wall.**

Haiku - Departing Summer

Departing Summer

shorter days long nights
cool clear harvest moon is near-
departing Summer


For the Prompt it is said to write in our own language. My own language is English... I am American living in Germany. So I know English well. I am learning German. My mandatory German class begins again this week... which I want to learn. I don't know enough German to write a Haiku in German. But I might want to try sometime.

4 Haiku - Solitude

Solitude

Four Haiku

in calm solitude

sitting alone self assured-

a love from within 

there is solitude 

when with the nature and life 

we have become one. 

gaze out the window

like a cat in solitude-

pondering deep thoughts

lone introspection

finding you are all you are-

the best place to be

**I love this theme. I could probably write a book of Haiku on this (maybe I will). Solitude is a great place to be. A time for thinking without interference. The ability to enjoy being alone is a great thing. Not all the time of course. I think it takes time and age to get to that place in ones life. Loneliness is searching outside for what you have inside already. When that place is reached being with others can be even better. Time with others is shared and enjoyed.... not needed for lack of loneliness. It is my belief and thoughts. I definitely enjoy me time alone to think... write Haiku. Even if it is late at night when everyone is sleeping. It keeps you centered.**

from the wings of life

along the path a feather-

the Spring birds fly
