someone is awake
somewhere. writing, perhaps, or
just wondering why.
************************************
morning glory sleeps
while moonflower opens to
her night moth feeding.

night falling on the
horizon, pushes away
last arms of the sun.

This week's Haiku Monday is hosted by Scout
and she chose the topic - Nocturnal.
Seventeen syllables divided into
three lines of 5-7-5.
Everyone is welcome to play.
I really love them both, but the second is my favorite. I was thinking a similar thing, but you captured it with "last arms of the sun." I love that!
ReplyDeleteMoonflower, Moonflower, eat my moths...

ReplyDeleteso....no nocturnal frog dentist?
ReplyDeleteOK...I can take a hint.
(no I can't)
I'll do it myself...
Boxer, thanks! I actually wrote that line a while ago. Found a place for it in haiku.
ReplyDeleteJCosmo, isn't it more like they are having sex? pollinating, ya know.
Art, that's lovely and you ought to enter it!
Thanks, Chick. While doing a search for images, I found out those big ones are called hummingbird moths. And, yes, I also love the scent from moonflowers.
Berry, enter your idea!
I think that first one is a contender if not winner. You need to get cartec to put that one up. It is really great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Curm!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go leave him a note at his place.
Now that I look at the top one again, I think I could have used 'working' instead of 'writing'.
ReplyDeletelove your post jean..
