The Present Moment (a haiku series)





simplicity deserves notice
in the present moment

the future, a dream
of this dream-
life

waves crash on rock
erodes to sand
creates the beach

sometimes still,
the leaves will blow
anyway



Please tell me what you think

    beautiful

    I really liked this poem series but these poems do not all follow the haiku form of 5,7,5. Overall the poem was exellent though you should revise the title so that it is not listed as a haiku series. Keep up the good work.

  • The present is where we need to station ourselves and our minds.. sometimes that is so hard to do.. we are all dreamers at heart.

    Love the deeper meaning in here. Wonderfully done!

  • well it is not strictly all haiku, is what i think! the second section in particular is not dealing with nature - but what do i know of poetry!

      you don't think life is a part of nature?

      but, I agree - it isn't all 'traditional' haiku. I don't usually write traditional haiku.

      thanks for reading.

    I like this. It's a really clever, poised and simple poem. Which I guess is the point...

  • I have a line in a poem not posted here

    The waves pound rocks into sand
    Where one may take long walks
    And in time,
    Seeds may grow

    Hey look! Comments!
    This one is much more easier to understand, and I like the passage of time you have illustrated here.
