Comet’s Trail …

Thank you to everyone who contributed on our theme of Celestial Bodies! 

I thoroughly enjoyed our deep space trek!

Pure Haiku is now taking a holiday, until the autumn, when a new theme will be posted.

I won’t be around much online until September/October, due to the busyness of my self-employed work!

Enjoy your summer and keep writing haiku!

If you enjoy haiku and other kinds of poetry, you might be interested in my first ever paperback poetry anthology. This Is Me is available as a paperback from Amazon.

Your ashes illume,

cradled beyond day and night –

Here is the final haiku from our featured haiku writer; Kerfe Roig. “I’m interested in the places between, the transitions, the stories we tell about how and where and why. I look for connections, mirrors, repetitions, gaps, contradictions, the interaction of opposites, the point where endings and beginnings meet.” Discover more at Kerfe Roig and methodtomadness.

Do your wings silver

sacred and cursed, white

that glitters black, reflected

in the light of truth

I am drawn into

your spiral whirlpool of light,

Pluto

who denies pluto

will surely answer for it

when darkness is all
