August NaHaiWriMo -(1, 2, 3, 4)

August Nahaiwrimo has started with a bang and here are the prompts and my responses to them for the first four days.

August 1 - "heart" - provided by Kat Creighton


a sparrow's heartbeats-
holding the new-born
close


August 2 - "full moon" - provided by Judith Gorgone

One of my all-time favourite prompts, yet strangely, i couldn't come up with much. Wrote and discarded at least ten of them and finally settled on this one.


full moon-
turning the key
in the latch

or

turning
the key in the latch-
full moon

(revision suggested by Freddy Ben Arroyo)


August 3 - "sand" - provided by Vincent Houreau


beach holiday-
resigned to the sand
in my soup


and


sand dunes
as far as the eyes go
you, you and only you


August 4 - "karumi" (lightness) - provided by John Carley


in the wake of the waterfowls the lightness of ripples


and


unknown seabird-
the anchor rope tilts
ever so slightly

I love #1. And #3 made me laugh. Really good. So glad to read your haiku this month on NaHaiWriMo.
