Mountain Winter Haiku

morning frost glistens
sunrise wakes a world gone cold
things lost come again

    Indeed for a not insider it comes over a bit metaphorical. I think depending on the mood ones in when reading but I wonder what you would have written if there would have arived something totally different in your stable.
    I think it is upon what the reader is willing to accept the writer can only tell what he sees in his haiku moment.
    I like the fine way this happening is told with a possibillity of broad interpretation and still the same message.

    A refreshing haiku. Each line refreshes the other. Though, morning makes sunrise redundant, I still enjoyed it.

    I read a book called 'The Book of Lost Things' just before Christmas. It was one of those children's books that are really for adults. Things that are lost are not necessarily recovered, but there is a comfort in accepting a loss as not so much gone as translated into something else.
    Like the ambiguity of this haiku , which I imagine is how haiku should be, because no matter how hard I try I can never get to grips with the little blighters. This one feels right because of the zenishness of the actual and the metaphorical and what you said the other day , and teh way you have made that work within the framework.

      Ummm...what did I say the other day? (Seriously...I say so many things, and seldom remember them in relation to later mentions.)

      There's actually a real-world application, this morning, though. The horse got out yesterday; she came back last night.
