Haiku – Breath and Dawn

matthewjrichardson Poetry Nov 28, 2018Aug 18, 2019 1 Minutes

Two little snippets this morning…

Breath

Heavy-laden line.

Damp sheets droop under fall skies.

Not a breath of wind.

Dawn

Crabs scuttle, fish dart

In moon-made pool of trapped calm.

Tide brings rolling dawn.

***Thanks for reading, folks. Any comments or likes gratefully received!***

Yeah, I agree – a moon made pool of trapped calm – very nice.

Lovely poetry! If you like, I was thinking of mentioning your blog for new readers in my next Sunshine Blogger Award. There’s no need to participate in the quiz if you’d prefer not to, it’s mainly to broaden awareness of interesting blogs that new readers can check out. Might you be interested in getting mentioned?
