Done for Carpe Diem.
We are challenged to write a “Full Circle” series of haiku where the goal is to write haiku with the following twelve (12) word-whirls in a clock-wise direction: Heaven,
Clouds, Palm tree, Fountain, Goddess, Desert, Jazz cafe, Duke Ellington, Summer night, Honeysuckle, Ancient road, Hill.
a glimpse of heaven
amidst parting clouds
the palm tree in supplication
2
silver fountain
trailing the steps of the goddess
into the desert
3
behind the jazz cafe
wandering fingers of the Duke
strokes the summer night
4
honeysuckles
drawing him up ancient roads
view of scented hills

Oh how beautiful…and what fun to try a challenge like this…I haven’t written much in the way of poetry for decades, but this makes me want to try again. Thanks for such an inspiring post.
Thank you Timeless Lady. Please give it a try. I should love to read it. 🙂
It’s always about finding the time for me…although that shouldn’t be counted as an excuse. I spend a lot of time through the midweek with my grandchildren.
And that is priceless. 🙂
