 | Haiku from the Desert  [E] Inspired by the terrible beauty and stark contrasts of California's desert regions.  |
| (4.5)  Hi Kai. Happy Earth Day!   I enjoy reading haiku and havebeen learning this challenging form so I was thrilled to find this item!  The subject of desert is a fine theme and sparked my curiosity.This is marvelous collection poems with so many vivid images of desert life. Each haiku is well formatted though I believe hakiu does not use captial letters but for names. I enjoyed reading each one with its interesting vocabulary, imagery and captured moment of time. I liked the "ant-streams..writhe" and "sunbeams slice the shade" and the "guilded hoods" haiku.  Wonderful evocative imagery. Hard to pick favourites here though the last three seem to me very original.I notice you have used rhyme is some of them, which is so creative. I don't think Haiku uses that technique traditionally. Yet fun to read. I could spend time musing on each of these so thanks for the journey into the desert magic. I will play in the "floating tunes". Lovely work.  Light on the path as you write on! eyestar You might like: "Haiku Hunt Contest"
