Stardust Haiku





Pleiades needle
in and out among hoodoos
stitching sky lines


**


fence free
garden of cosmos
star spangled sky

I don't know how you make them, but that fractal is perfect for this post.

Two great last lines, can't decide which I like better!

I like both of these, but especially the first one, and the first line! Really good image!

stitching sky lines - love that! it's always amazing how so few words can create so much thought

anthonynorth said...

Perfect - especially the first. And the picture is stunning.

Oh, I love the sounds in your words: "Pleiades needle" "hoodoos"...and the play on the word "cosmos" is delightful!

I'm going to follow your log! ;)

I'll take the first one, thank you. Just about every year I spend several hours watching for the Pleiades display and always have been disappointed. One or two falling stars is all I ever find.
Stardust is a nice song as for the reading of the words. I guess I was riding motorcycles and listening to rock music when F.S. did his singing as I don't remember any by him ever.

Sue, that fractal is wonderful! It is -- what does the song say: Golden. A garden of cosmos... I really like the double meaning;if you look up through the flowers then it's a star spangled sky at that angle too. Great verse and they made me smile.

Geraldine said...

I especially love, "star stangled sky" perfect! Well done Sue.

Hugs, G

I like both. They kind of go hand in hand. The first line of the first is wonderful!

I read your poetry and say "yeah" and then struggle because that seems to be such an inadequate comment. But there it is. So all I can say is Thank You. I am speechless otherwise.

KB said...

I love both of them too.

Dave King said...

The first is the one I would choose if I had to, but both are tremendous - as is the image.

Gordon Mason said...

These are great, especially the 'hoodoos'....its such a long word when held on the tongue!

Linda Jacobs said...

I like the "garden of cosmos"! I also like how your poems are so compact but they reflect such a wide area.

The fractal image is perfect for the prompt. Your haiku of stitching skylines is very nice.

sgreerpitt said...

thank you for introducing me to the term "hoodoos" -- what a great image! Your second poem reminds me of a painting I did thirty years ago called "the sun and the cosmos."

John E. Tran said...

I love the imagery... fence free garden of cosmos... conjures up images of vast openness with stars for flowers. Thanks for some new words too! :) Happy New Year!

Tumblewords--
you always make shiny jewels out of gravel when you put them in your tumbler...

these are great! I too loved the fence free line...'defenses down...the stars got out'!

Happy new year--many thanks for the loveliness you bring to the world!
