unicorn

golden hoofs to tear

spiralled horn to gore and rend;

unicorn will rule

lao-tellik

frosted shadow stands

defies huntsman in pursuit;

woodland protector

mythical creature

gleaming horn spirals

crowns this dark-eyed noble head

brings light to darkness

weird stones

held in my warm palm

worn smooth by water and wind

just three round white stones

While I’m offline …

 

Unicorn a creature of magic and power

This Summer I’d thought I’d do something a bit different!

I’m currently offline and therefore unable to enjoy my usual browsing of my followers’ sites 😦

However, I have scheduled a few haiku posts of my own which will appear roughly every 2 weeks.

Please bear in mind that all comments are moderated and that comments may not appear immediately. I try to check all site comments once a week but it all depends on how busy I am with my “day” job! So please bear with me if your comments don’t appear for a few days …

Keep a look out for my first haiku in a couple of weeks time. I am posting haiku that have never appeared before. These are haiku I’ve written in conjunction with The Kaerling series. They describe characters and places from the volumes published so far and from volumes yet to be released …

Emerging and flown

Thank you for journeying with us through our Emergence themed haiku!

I hope you have enjoyed the haiku and feel inspired to write your own.

I’m sorry that hardly any of the haiku appeared on my Facebook Page this time. Someone has reported Pure Haiku to Facebook as having “Abusive Posts”. Not totally sure what this means but am assuming it’s a malicious troll type of thing.

I am therefore slowly withdrawing from Facebook and have created a MeWe account where I will post future haiku from Pure Haiku. Please join me there!

Due to the demands of my current job, I am taking a break from Pure Haiku submissions for a few months.

But I have scheduled a few posts here (twice a month) to keep you going over the Summer!

Pure Haiku will open again to submissions in September 2019. The new theme will be posted here and on the Submit Page when the submissions window is open!

Have a mindful Summer!
