Hi Billy,

Good examples of haiku

not sure, but maybe another word for "carrying" - one even more specific


Of course, I like the 2nd the best - my personal favorite

the joyful sound

As Keats says - "a thing of beauty is a joy forever"

Laughter is a vital sign of Life

Hi Billy,

reading again this morning,
and sharing this variation that occurred to me:

his buzzing chasuble,
a temple -
beekeeper in the field

^^ and I see an impressionistic canvas


And to accompany your 2nd haiku,
in which this Sunday sunrise, I'm reading "above the clouds" as "on earth as it is in Heaven"

mother
i hear your laughter
above the clouds

Her joy continues
to rhythm & rhyme
with her boy

in UniSon

Thanks, actually the first one is not right, so I changed it. I meant to say his thurible or censer, they sound alike.

Billy, you know I am hopeless on these haikus
but they seem to like it.
