This extreme haibun erased is for the Secret Keeper’s writing challenge, to use these words:
CITY | GRASS | PLAY | RANT | WATER
I have borrowed Paul Militaru’s lovely photograph again for inspiration. Thanks Paul!
On the water, sunlight plays, a steely scimitar slicing the city’s heart in two. Gulls shatter the silver mirror and send ripples flying, feather-soft and rapid as the silent fishes that dart among the frond-waving grassy pastures of the sea.
too bright this light
that splinters—gull plunges
into green depths
Water ripples
flying fishes dart
among sea splinters.

Just beautiful 💜
Thanks! It’s that photo. I knew I’d go back to it 🙂
Yes you did as much 💜

I really like the poem that you came up with from the words in the others. That photo is inspiring. 🙂
It is a lovely photo. I’m sure Paul won’t mind if you ‘borrow’ it too 🙂

Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Thank you!
