Haiku--By Ron C. Moss--Australia

homecoming
hands held together
in a deep bow
_______________

invincible summer
fence wire tightens
in the heat
_______________

loading a brush . . .
the colour
of rain
_______________

ripples
sinking
in silence
_______________

the wind's chill
whitening
the cracks
_______________

  1. I have been a long time fan of Ron Moss’ haiku. These haiku are layered and not just mere image painting. I love "the colour of rain" - how do you paint the colour of rain? This leaves a dreaming space for the reader to interpret according to their own personal experience, cultural and social context.

  2. I am now a fan of yours Ron. I truly enjoyed the read and your talent that is shared here with all of us on Whispers. I appreciated your websites mentioned. I really liked the paintings with the hiaku added. I have not been aware of that medium before. Being an artist and loving to write poetry also, I want to try my hand at that. Thank you for the inspiration.
