poetryMONDAY

Hmm, yes--another haiku. Blame it on my short attention span.






in rythm and dance
black branches crochet the storm --
the stars are unmoved

p.s. as of right now (it may not last) Father of Dragons made it into the top ten bestsellers at Samhain (see left column)

yay! i missed you last week but i was good and didnt make a pest of myself. i like the dimensionality of this poem where the only thing linking the two realities (that of the trees and that of the stars) is the reader.

yay on book kudos and of course it's on my buy list!!

Great haiku, Emily. It gives me ideas...lol. Like I need help coming up with new story ideas.

Congrats on the sales as well. I read FoD and it was awesome. Even pimped it last Friday for you on my blog. Can't wait for a sequel.

Haiku are always a treat for me. This one is no exception.

Especially the last line.

Don't pooh-pooh your haiku. This one is highly visual and layered in just 13 words.

I'm with Julia. This makes me think of sitting outside, watching storms -- a gift I rediscovered this summer.
