RE: Haiku Thursday - Spring Returning

in #poetry7 years ago

I love this poem, @raj808. Such purpose and awareness of the moment...when we are still - swimming in the miracle of life.

Trees spark green flutters,
chlorophyll fingers reaching
upwards, sun-kissed.

I love this especially. Chlorophyll fingers!

I had to look up one of your words I hadn't heard before "sibilant" - What an interesting and beautiful word.

Thanks @youhavewings. Ha ha, 'sibilant' is a word that is all over my poetry lol. Maybe too much if I'm honest but it is a beautiful word and very onomatopoeic. I'm gratified that you picked out the use of 'chlorophyll fingers' as I was unsure if it worked as I put something scientific in to try and sharply contrast against the rest of the imagery which is very natural, I wasn't sure if it worked as I intended. Glad you enjoyed these Haiku :-)

It really is a fabulous word....sibilant.....sssss Going to sneak it into conversation with my 15 yro that thinks he knows every word ever created ;) We both love playing with words, so it will be fun.

onomatopoeic - nice! :)

Yes, 'chlorophyll fingers' created a nice, interesting visual.
