He makes all things new

spring’s pale green raindrops
cling trembling to bare branches
spatter on sidewalk
_____
enslaved boy set free
patrick loved his enemies
truth drowns in green beer
_____
swords of irises
pierce soil and snow to touch sun
rising from bulbs’ tomb
tidal survival

This haiku technique is called Narrowing Focus and it was used often by Basho (1716-1784)) because, he as an artist, a painter, was a very visual person. It starts basically with a wide-angle lens on the world in the 1st line, then switches to a normal lens for the 2nd line and zooms in for a close up in the end.

beauty of sunset
on san diego mountains
purple shades of love
palm tree silhouettes
jacuzzi bubbles…up gaze
bright smile slice of moon
sweet birthday passes
gracious love touches my life
our time in God’s hands

unnerving silence
bleached bones exposed upon sand
lone vulture circles
inviting silence
milky way stars spilled on sky
holiness hovers
My scribbles in the sand on “inviting silence” theme at CDHK today.
