To spill last night's moon... How beautiful this is written dear friend.
Sorry it took me so long to read your poems, but I've had an accident last friday of September and been in the hospital for nine days because I had blood in my brains...
It's still not completely gone, but luckily it seems better. I only feel stupid at moments...
-
-
i'm sorry to hear about your accident, leander. things like this just reminds us how precious life is. get better soon, my friend

placed to embrace
words not found by flipping through them but pulled from you
an abundance in a bundle, having pleats within a "tilt" as it ties to the orbits with final mention of "moon" but with initial earthly effect. and so with this also 'personal' then we are as by our gravitational cyclic surroundings without a stuck feeling but soak up to "spill" summaries as seasons. or I saw
very sweetly enjoyed,

Ahh...so fresh

The Calla Lily is my favourite flower
You captured its essence beautifully here!

I cant help but love this nikki....
it is a breath of fresh air to read this today
as I am slowly
bent over
last breaths
a lily's heart broken
Im sorry for not been reading my faves

wow...this is such a beautiful one! I really love your haikus..especially if it has 'moon' in it! Beautiful Nic!
-
This is beautiful!
-
Beautiful!!
-
a poignant, yet beautiful outing by you, lafay
your imagery is always so precise and soulful...true testimony to that continent-sized heart of yours
wonderful writing
-
What a lovely imagery here Nic!
That flower is already a beauty and you made it shine even more with this haiku
-
how do you do that? say so much in so few words? i realize that is the essence of haiku, but wow... you have it down pat. just breathtaking.
-
YES!!!
This is a perfect irregular haiku. There is such a sense of regret in the word "spills", and the moon is spot-on as a traditional autumnal reference.
-
Even so small your calla lily is always in full bloom. What a nice haiku you spilled out of your lily poetry !
-
I doubt I will ever think of the moon in quite the same way again C
-
! I don't know how you do that gogo. I have never been a fan of haiku but this is the first I've read that made me think, "wow" - I think I have changed my mind! Maybe my newfound appreciation of them is limited to your words because of the way you always convey such beauty and depth no matter the subject. Even your more poignant poems have an elegance about them. That is why when I think of calla lilies I always think of you.
Magic!
-
ah beautiful
so fresh and creative
-
Indeed, you are the Empress of Beautiful Brevity, my Friend, and this penning is yet another shimmering jewel in your headpiece. Good luck in Peteskid's contest, Sweetie.

-
I think anyone would be lucky to find something so exquisite and genuinely beautiful for this contest or any other, you have a way of making the simple things read so romantically. Just gorgeous. I wish you well for this contest but know luck is not needed. Best to youxx
-
Yes, haiku can do this, capture a scene and say so much about it, of time, movement, things we sense, things that we interpret first by senses, then by our feelings. Excellent, Thank you for this fine entry into the contest and best of luck in the judging, and welcome to the finals...PK

-
Thank you, PK. Whenever I get stuck, I turn to haiku or cinquain - so thank you for the inspiration
