Sagittarius ~ A Haiku Chain
Sagittarius
the Archer with sling and bow
never tie them down
flitting to and fro
travelling continents wide
wanderers searching
innate need to know
information gatherers
sponges soaking facts
thoughtfully watching
as questions of universe
frolic in their minds
enthusiastic
eager to try out new things
nothing is too much
no need for worry
things will always work out right
life the adventure
honesty valued
inability to lie
tactless comments made
conviction of thoughts
speaking views and stating facts
argumentative
keeping bodies trim
physical strength important
sporting prowess rules
playful with partners
keeping lovers on their toes
fun-filled and content
Russia Haiku
Following on from the first part of my essay about my trip to Russia, I wrote these haiku this morning, and I thought I’d share them with you.
Red Square
black-booted soldiers
stomping watchfulness over
one already dead
St. Basil’s Cathedral
rainbow-coloured twists
intricate architecture
st basil’s stands tall
Gorky Park
wind of change echoes
as we walk through Gorky Park
following moscva
Pioneer Camp
pioneer kids greet
perform show of song and dance
hearts and souls soar high
The Kremlin
behind kremlin wall
great tsar bell remains silent
cracked when fire broke out
Love Of My Life
LOVE OF MY LIFE
A Haiku Sonnet
words in anger tossed
into boxing ring of love
we punch back and forth
hurt egos buzzing
we return to our corners
and lick our wounds clean
bags packed love withdrawn
i watch your figure fade out
my world crashes down
silent house deafens
ghosts of happier times haunt
how i still love you
love of my life you’ve hurt me
don’t take it away from me
