Haiku Horizons – Skim – March 18, 2015

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Georgia

the young couple
skim on the placid lake
courting in spring

skim o’er the water
wind in your ears – fly flip splash
wind surfing at dawn

coffee and skimmed milk
computer booting up
morning rituals

Haiku Horizons

  Thanks … hadn’t thought about carrying the idea of rituals through the series actually but of course now that I re-read it, that’s what Madame Muse has done! 🙂

    Those muses — clever folk! It’s fun though when people comment on your work and you realize – “hey! that was pretty cool! wish I’d planned it that way!”
    
    Ya gots natural talent, babe!

      Thanks Jen, you’re the best … I think rather than any natural talent I’ve got a vivid subconscious … word association and all that …

        Talent in recognizing the subconscious images and bringing them to light, then. Intertwined. 🙂

        Thanks … cool of you to say so … makes me feel right proud … really though, thanks so much for such a wonderful comment, I loved it (though it made me blush a bit).

        😀 You *should* be proud! 😀
        Hoping you’re doing more smiling than blushing. 🙂

Fave was the coffee and skimmed milk morning ritual. I must be the only female left on the planet who drinks full cream milk and I have the love handles to prove it 🙂
