My response to this week’s Haiku Heights Prompt, Desert, are the two offerings below: I hope both are cool.
(1) Desert
This scorched barren earth
Parched throats gasp for springs of life
Hell, or Sahara?
(2) Desert
Like a scorched flower
I burn and thirst for your love
Oh, desert me not

Two beautiful haiku for the prompt. Love the romance in the second.

Lovely use of the prompt in two different meanings. I thought of both but can’t poke out the words. Glad to read your compositions again Celestine.

Is everything okay Celestine. I know you had your loss, but we haven’t seen you for a while. We are here if you need to talk
Oh Alastair, thanks a million for your concern. I am fine over here. I have been having internet problems the whole week. Even now I had to grab a friend’s lap top to have a quick browse. 🙂 I hope that next week everything will be sorted out. Do take care. 🙂
Thanks for the update. 🙂
hope all is well there! take care.
Thanks, Sharmishtha. The poor internet connectivity is such a bore.
This beautiful… Ce, how are you doing? I’ve been thinking about you… 🙂
They are both beautiful was what I meant to say… The second one holds great promise yet reminds me of your loss… The last line of the first one gives me a Hobson’s choice of two bad options but I love the sound of it… Hell, or Sahara. Brilliant as always.
Hope to see/hear from you soon. Keep us updated… Love to the extended family and {{{HUGS}}} too!
Eliz
Thanks for appreciating my humble offering. I am doing fine, Elizabeth. I have had no access to the office internet for about two weeks now and I feeel so frustrated. I had to fall on hubby’s laptop and use his modem today because this is one of the few times that the machine is free. :-). Seriously it is high time I got my own laptop. I really miss you guys. 🙂
Miss you too and hope to hear more from you once all is back on track for you… Not a bad idea to get your own laptop; a perfect Christmas gift too! 🙂
My highest compliment:
Ow, thanks a million, Stefan. I am honoured. 🙂
