wakes me from slumber

the dream of someone I miss

precious few moments

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

precious few moments

to view the full moons splendour

seen and forgotten

A million years, mosquitoes

not by boat--here five years now, 

emptying myself

stay with your anger,

see where it goes; your mind, too.

Use the last line of the preceding haiku as the first line of yours.

 

The structure is three lines:

 

5 syllables

7 syllables

5 syllables

 

:D

 


Here goes... (apologies to Stigweard):


kind of hard to find

needle in a hay stack, like;

means to turn the wheel

Means to turn the wheel
hungry, but not too much food
Gratitude abounds

Gratitude abounds

lift the fork and swallow down

my life's task is done

My life's task is done

No more of being such, so
Quietly undone
