Haiku Shades, Haiku Shadows

Had to have a little relief from a couple projects that are driving me up
a [deeply shadowed] wall. Hope I haven't taken too many liberties. . .but then, feeling free is. . .what it is all about?
PS: Thank you SO much for warming up to my Norman Rockwell piece the way you did. Head needs shrinking {you know, the other kind}. xOx Pea xOx


 
shadow stippled wall
winter stripped trees
whisk they are gone
 
 
door grows the shadows
of needle wide limbs
bare reminders of conscience
 
 
shadow shirrs a wall
naked trees embroider
ghosts insanely familiar
 
 
wind chime reflects
how it weaves with borrowed thread
no movement new
 
 
same shadow same wall
just different strippers
howling, clapping wind
 
 
shadow made off with itself
a victim of its own nature
there nonetheless

Can I come camp out by your wall with my camera? The only sound will be the click of the shutter capturing that light.

You nailed it! Sixteen-inch centers on the 2" X 6" studs! Sturdy ku structure...shadows of a 20-penny nail...drive it home, Pea! Spring's comin'...bare limbs turn into leaves, blossoming into wall gold-leaf art, time to spruce up your walls...tell Ray I said so...trip to the hobby store for some stencils and paintbrushes...carolina wren sings for your grandbabies...

Love you,

Sage
