rainstardragon | Haiku Month is over (Reply)

Last month did not give me the opportunity to keep up with the haiku a day challenge. However, my uncle seemed to be getting better when I went to visit him with my mother. We saw another of her brothers and other various family members along the way. Due to this, we did not have to have as many hotel rooms as we might have had to.

We also got a good reminder of what happens when I push too far at driving, and of what exhaustion can induce. I was not allowed to drive as much as I would have shouldered otherwise.

With that out of the way, it is time to at least catch up and post enough haiku to make up for last month's derailed attempt. I will not partake in March of Robots this year though. I have too many other things on my plate, including a very exciting prospective one.

15

The rushing winter

Fingers, combs a stony face.

Wind carving time out

16

Expand, contract, wait

Thaw, freeze, stretch, crack, chip, crumble

Fall, Tumble, Change, Grow

17

Bittersweet darkness

Languid in a mobile pool

Embraces daydreams

18

Constantly rolling

Miles fall away swift behind

Yet more always loom

19

Floating high above

Shining mantles spread across

A cobalt steel sky

20

Steel lace froths across

Satin smooth waters deep and dark

Where dreams lay rest

21

One leaf, then the next

Turns and falls away upon

The spine once tight bound

22

Drop by steady drop

Her fringe grows long, clear, and pure

Above empty eyes

23

A path winding down

Never knows until the day

The drop from the end

24

Frost sparkle skin lays

Glowing below sun fingers

Waiting to be marred

25

A blanket of green

Drowses beneath the empty boles

Spring slowly waking

26

Lights dance within the

Gash of the eager cavern

Moss hiding the path

27

A Mountain Maiden

Presides above the valley

Granting her water

28

A claw rakes paper

Watching as the ink spreads out

And a month ends dark
