penguins; morning glory
a haze hangs over the colony
wobbly toes oft-tilt; dizzy
whiskered seals feed
pack their bellies with flakes
scrimshawed ice-bed
dancing in skates
upon the dry, cold canvas of glass
sketch
made in winter
This Haiku is shared with Carpe Diem - Usurai (Thin Ice).
All very nice! I especially like the second one and the image of the 'scrimshawed ice bed.'
ReplyDeleteSo good to read your appreciation of this post, Mary.Yes, the image of ice made me use that word. Thanks for the encouragement!:)
