Between the Seasons – Haiku – September 28, 2015

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Georgia

between the seasons
the vitality of youth
red fallen leaves

the undercurrent
between the earth and moon
thralling attraction

there they stood
between the lines she wrote
her adieu

I fell in love with the first one for it has all the quality of a traditional haiku ! …the vitality of youth and the red fallen leaves …what a juxt !
Nevertheless the second and the third one has the quality of mesmerising haikus ! Well knitted Georgia !

I agree with Maiparna here….all three are unique and yet create a sense of wholeness……very very beautiful indeed…..

    I suppose it would sound glib for me to say, “every morning’s good for haiku”!

I like your haiku. It’s funny but the first haiku I wrote for this prompt started with the line ‘between the seasons.’ Mine was silly so I discarded it – yours is much stronger.

    I discarded it before I read yours. It wasn’t very good. Funny we should think the same line tho. 🙂
