unconnected

Here I highlight Ken Wagner, whom I found via Borut's blog. The short verses are my responses to his haiku, which I have posted in the comments. I have linked the posts below each. Do check those out.


cooped up
wrapped in a shawl
i observe the wall

Response to Wind Hits by Ken Wagner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

looking at food
I see nirvana
haikuing dried up

Response to Night Drive by Ken Wagner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

flickering light-
fireflies
taking flight

Response to Night Chill by Ken Wagner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

trapped out
in the wet-
out of my brain

Response to So Trapped by Ken Wagner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

chopping wood
all day long
i missed the butterflies

Chopped Wood by Ken Wagner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to Tikkis, Borut, Ken Wagner I am back at writing short verses.

    I think there's probably something here for everyone.
    Personally I like:

    flickering light-
    fireflies
    taking flight

    Hi Gautami
    It was so nice to have you visit me & leave your nice comment.
    Thank you!
    I was away from blogging for a while & it's nice to be back.

    I like these - I've been following Wagners twitter for a bit and it was interesting to see your responses to his posts. Small world, short sentences... :) Good job!

    Wow! I was at my day-job earlier when I read your mention of the link on your site - I had no idea this is what you meant.

    I like yours better! I'll keep practicing.

    "flickering light-
    fireflies
    taking flight"

    Brings back memories - haven't seen a firefly for a long time. I feel so out of touch with nature.

    As still as a cat,
    or just a brick in the wall:
    mind concentration.
