Ocean breezes
under the second bridge
fishing for fluke
Drawbridge opens
letting summer go
sea gulls cry
The above haiku are a response to a challenge to write haiku with drawbridge as the subject. The challenge is offered at Haiku Heights September Challenge. I had no picture of a drawbridge so I found another photo to post with the poems. This is the first time I have linked to this site. Join the party!
Oh, I love this. I can really sit and put myself right into it. Okay that's not worded quite right, but you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI love the second one best! The image and the feeling are one. Great job! Great photo, too! You should think about writing a haiku-photo book.
ReplyDeleteI like where you let the word Drawbridge take you. The words in the haiku with the photo you choose - I find very soothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to let summer go...by raising the drawbridge! I like the visual!

great haiku, espec. the 'letting summer go' under the bridge!
ReplyDeleteseagulls won't be the only ones crying as summer goes. Nice haiku.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully composed. I love both verses, but my favorite is the second one. The second line of that haiku is so wonderfully found.
ReplyDeleteNamaste
Welcome to our circle of challenge ... I look forward to more visits.
ReplyDeleteI like both of them, but the second one is my favorite. It brings me down memory lane!! The photo is perfect with it. DrawBridge
