Happy Birthday, Lau!

wishing you a wonderful day…. this post is for you, Lau!

 

…..

Here’s a Haiku I wrote (as a joke) for Lau’s birthday…

(sorry to the non-Hispanic community… the Haiku is in Spanish :P   — ahh, never mind! it’s an inside-joke anyway!)

treinta y un soles-
penetrantemente, tus
ojos los vieron.

…..

Happy birthday, dear friend!!

..The Infinite Poem.. /Haiku #11/

A cloudless dark night.

Static tears lit the blue;

his pale love was gone.

If you are asking yourselves how it is that I am suddenly posting Haiku daily, let me just say that I wasn’t suddenly stricken by a flash of inspiration…

On the contrary, I am for some reason delaying the promised post on the meeting in Swaziland (probably because it’s been on my mind for more than a week and I just want a little break) and this is just a decoy… heheh

I wrote this Haiku around a year ago (any Astronomy fan can tell me when the last Moon eclipse was seen from the Southern Hemisphere?), when a broken heart found relief in the contemplation of the sky, and a confused mind found peace in the reading and writing of these minimal pieces of poetry. If you like them, I must give credit to my highly emotional state at that moment. If you don’t, well, I can blame it on my highly emotional state at that moment ;)

Haiku #9 – Moon Eclipse

Mirror of the sun.
Merciless shadows advanced
swallowing its gleam.

..The Infinite Poem.. /Haiku#8/

A suspended herd,

white rabbits drifting astray-

heavenly stampede.

..The Infinite Poem.. /Haiku#8/

Morning after rain –
embarrassedly, the blue sky
looks in the mirror.

..The Infinite Poem.. /Haiku #6/

Another sunset-
she lays sleepless on the sky,
uncorresponded.

..The Infinite Poem.. /Haiku #5/

Stormy afternoon –
Sun draws a harlequin smile
for a tearful friend.

..The Infinite Poem.. /Winter Haiku/

Haiku #4

A troubled cold sky
weeping perfect geometry –
all is painted white.
