Haiku My Heart: Frozen Waltz

Eternity, Mabson Southard, Music, Nature, petals, Spring, tango, Waltz, waters

Done for Carpe Diem. And also for Recuerda Mi Corazon. I’m adding my two lines of seven syllables each to complete the hokku below into a tan renga.

From deep in the spring

clear reflections rise to meet

falling plum petals

Mabson Southard

Mine

in graceful midair tangle

and a waltz frozen in time

Tan Renga

From deep in the spring

clear reflections rise to meet

falling plum petals

in graceful midair tangle

and a waltz frozen in time.

Haiku Heights Prompt: Footprints and Waltz

Footprints, Waltz

Day Twenty Eight of the  September Haiku Heights challenge and the prompt is Waltz. I missed yesterday’s prompt of Footprints. (poor internet connectivity and later on power cut. It seems as if I am always giving one excuse after the other, but folks, unfortunately this is Africa for you or more specific, Ghana, and welcome to it. 🙂 )  So, here we go with the two. Please bear with me, as usual 🙂

(1) Footprint

Footprints of the gods

Mighty strides in sparkling hues

The clouds swoon in awe

(2) Waltz

She waltzed through my heart

A whirlwind of soft flowery musk

My dainty petal
