oh yeah. this ku puts a grin on my face. speaking of a great perspective adjustment. yeah. cool. it’s all in the greater scheme of things…
funny, i was just thinking about the crystal clarity of stars here.
midnight
the stars so sharp
my eyes ache
Love that, Wrick.
Melissa, you are my favourite haiku poet. I loved this one posted on Haiku foundation page.And though it has been suggested that it could be polished and phrased better and that could be perhaps right, but i like it the way you’ve worded it. Maybe the spontaneity of it adds to its beauty…
Thank you — what an amazing compliment! I’m so glad you stopped by the blog.
(And shhh, don’t tell anyone — I like my version better too.
