Supine and Scree | Haiku

Poetry 1 Minute

Good morning readers,

two more haiku for consumption….

 

Supine 1

Supine

Staccato patter

Onto supine slates and down

into mossy gutters.

 

Scree

Scree

Juniper slopes lap

At scree-scattered inclines and

Snow-packed corries.

    1. (whoops hit enter too soon lol). Also I love this now-signature-Matthew double haiku with joint post title…. making each a three-word poem on its own… I always enjoy these post of yours so much.

      2. “Curmudgeonly” heehee. Well I think each is a gift to us all and could easily stand on its own (in every case) but I also now feel like you have invented a triptych art form which I fInd pithy indeed. Love seeing them. 👍👍👌

  8. Brilliant work, Matt! Looking forward to more!

    Just a heads-up (because a few other bloggers including Fandango & Pensitivity101 have written about it) – an account at Digital Ocean is reblogging different bloggers’ work without their knowledge (yours and mine included); good thing we both use copyright on our posts, so that helps.
    Plenty of bloggers have already complained about it (& Digital Ocean’s responses in the comments) so hopefully it’ll be addressed soon.

    1. Thanks Tom. Just back from a trip away and back to all this controversy! Seems like you and the rest of the community have managed to bring them to rights though so thanks! Always struck me as a bizarre thing to do. What possible pleasure can there be in such blatant plagiarism?!

      1. Looks like they’re taking steps to resolve it, but yeah – it was a general blog search website that had shared links to people’s stories & poems (without anyone agreeing for it to use them beforehand) and sometime it wouldn’t accredit the right authors. Pretty worrying for all concerned, but looks like it’s being remedied.
