French art in Haiku (Haiku 3: Cromagnon, La Tour Eiffel, Les Fleurs, Absinthe) (Sharing original poems.)

Food poisoning this week. No details necessary… just to say that yesterday, I rose from the wish-I-was-dead and went around my house taking pictures and writing haiku.

These haiku were inspired by some of the art on our walls at home. The pieces are from France, except the one that was done by Callaghan, who is French. You get the common theme.

Haiku 3: Art

Déjà vu hunting
blind, agnostic galleries –
counting hours.

Insurmountable:
vapor of millenniums,
vaporous château.

Rapidly displaced
spectra: brook waters culling
hand-painted headstones.

Slanderous tom-tom!
Axioms, acknowledgments
feigning percussion.

Here’s to a healthier week ahead for us all!

  1. Thank you so much… I’m glad you enjoyed. I’ve never made a practice of writing 5-7-5 haiku (or any haiku, actually), so this is a new and pleasurable challenge. The art served as a generous muse for this set.
