river speaks (haiga)


 
(c) C.L.R. 2014


sun dips
beyond conception
listen
 
gnats buzz moving in circles
ducks paddle with the current
 
by the riverside
longing for meaning
seagull echoes


river retreats in silence
secret reflections

or

twilight emulates clarity
liquid tranquility

  1. Very powerful - those first three lines had me reall thinking - beyond conception - wonderful line. the tiny gnat's circular movements, too, takingus back to the sun again, really clever, Beautiful ending.

  3. Beautiful solo renga, Cheryl. I too was drawn in by the "beyond conception" line. I also dig the seagull echos. I'd love to see another two line capping verse to complete it. :)

    1. It was complete at `seagulls` adding the rest is sharing my individual process...probably too much information:)
