January 11 - Bleak
Solstice dawn breaks bleak
With mist that seeps into bones
Long night’s harbinger
Very nice job of evoking a setting here, I can really picture this.
Bleak and desolate
Like the prospects of the world
Life of poverty
Very bleak, indeed. You always manage to get such big ideas into these little poems.
Thank you very much. That is very kind of you to say.
A little experimental Haiku here.
One of my favorite books. But don't tell The Bard. He gets jealous when I read other Englishmen...
“The wheels of ‘Jarndyce…’”
(Lawyers suck, Dickens is great)
“…grind so very fine.”
I- (please don’t hate me), think Dickens is boring and avoiding reading him at all costs.
That you were able to get a quote into a haiku is pretty impressive though, hats off, Sir🖤
Yeah, he's not for everyone.
I do have to say, I’ve read his letters against public hangings and they are beautiful.
Full moon glowering
Over bleak, windswept moorland.
Is that a wolf's howl?
I like the depiction of the moon, as though there’s something it disapproves of, but is it the wolf, or the wanderer?
I was thinking American Werewolf in London...😂
That did cross my mind, but I liked the whole moon bit so I went with it. 😏
