Oceanzest

Music Haiku

walking in Salzburg
Wolfgang Amadè Mozart
distant violin

an old piano
broken keys and tangled wire
good wine, sweet music

Ocean’s haiku challenge-2

Lifted by a breeze
Dreams transform into clouds
Sparkling drops return

No air left to breathe
Flowing sky following you
Vacuum for me

Locked in the closet
The skeleton felt confined
Those dirty secrets

The night was dragging
Nightmares kept coming back
Rooster did not care

Haiku Duet.

the falling moonlight
shattered in golden fragments
on the dazzling sea

~~~~~

the blazing sunset
danced on the ocean like flames
and scorched the skyline

War Haiku

Buffalo soldiers
Apache feathered spirits
war within a breath

Johnson and Nixon
Kissinger on my TV
smoke over Da Nang

Chinese raid Taiwan
UN emergency meet
calm before the storm

Troubles Behind (Haiku Challenge)

Sunshine in the rain
Peaceful is this life again
Breeze on the water

Green as a wet fern
Freshness as a mountain kissed
Blue as summer skies

Run away with me
I will help you find your way
Going home again

OZ …..Haiku Challenge

The stillness of cloud
A breathless silence of wind
Warmth of winter sun


A moth in night light
A gecko’s dinner tonight
Through the window pane

Lazy are the days
Awaiting the suns warm rays
Upon gazebo

Oceanzest 5.7.5. Haiku Challenge.

birds merrily sing
the woodlands teeming with sound
healing nature calls

~~~~~~

trickling mountain streams
the roar of huge waterfalls
both beautiful sounds

~~~~~~

morning sunrise dawns
night time surrenders slowly
behold the new day

~~~~~~

HAIKU FOR YOU (with bonus feature of author's interpretation) - "What do ghost see in a mirror?"

"What do ghosts see in a mirror?"

Oak's underbelly.
where dreams appeal naturally
mom slipped from the crypt.


Oak's underbelly... (in the shade of an oak tree on a sunny lazy day)

where dreams appeal naturally...(be easy to fall asleep)

mom slipped from the crypt...(dreamt a lot about my mom right after she passed but she didn't know she was dead)

Haiku challenge

Trying on a mask
A familiar stranger
Stares back at me

A squeaking sound
My shoes travel where they want
Get to follow them

Eruption in space
Into a new dimension
The wave of love spreads

Haiku 3

a servant of salt
she docks on the old jetty
timbers in the sun

topaz delights me
sets the rhythm of the night
to the chase I'm born

Aristotle's virtues
a field of mountainside flowers
making of a man
