May 5 - Kelpie
Haiku, inspired by Richard Wright's poignant style:
Beneath the still moon,
Black horse emerges, cloaked in
Lonely hunger pangs.
.
Ripples betray him,
His mane flickers with despair—
Nature’s cruel decree.
Autumn wind whispers,
He answers in low echoes,
A friendless feast calls.
So haunting and beautiful, I can see this play out in my mind.🖤
Thank you. 🙏
I love the lines "lonely hunger pangs" and "a friendless feast calls" - so poetic and ominous🖤
Thank you.
Kelpie oiled and slick
Black reflection in full moonlights
Slip into bubbles to bathe
Imagined waiting washed delight.
Gorgeous imagery as usual❤️🖤
Exquisite, Richard.
And your poem beneath the same moon, hunger pains rise; pool ripples to manes unfurled with gnashing, neighs that behooves the unwary quarry drowned in negligent nightmares.
While women ride the ‘mares into kelpies lair.
Bad, bad girls! Whatcha gonna do …
The mystery remains to this day.
LOL!!!
Moon casts silver paths,
stirring shadows into life—
neighs slice the still air.
Beasts of legend roam tonight,
preying on the dreams of men.
the water hungers
for sweet flesh, the bones picked clean
do not waste the dead
This is awesome🖤
Perfect!
With cross-stamped halter
I bind the loch's own kelpie
To carry the stones
Oh you are a brave one🫣🖤
My mom made me watch that movie. I remember nothing about it other than I hated it😂 I wish I remembered why.
Wow I don’t remember anyone from grade school😅 I’m impressed!
