Haiku in Hibernation

As most of you know, I have an insatiable haiku habit that persists even during January’s usual hibernation. Here are some of my favorites from the month that have been lying low waiting for the right moment to emerge. Enjoy!

Earth’s third eye, the sun,
closes its clairvoyant lid.
Rest now, weary sun.#haikuchallenge #3lines pic.twitter.com/15Ebi7hXO9

My photograph from Tybee Island, Georgia.

Seasonal beauty:
fit hours, magnetic minutes,
seconds take your breath.#haikuchallenge #3Lines pic.twitter.com/HPqQCk21xA

The social highway:
poverty divides people
like firm painted lanes.#haikuchallenge

Amid a foggy
I don’t know, eerie echo,
melody retold.#haikuchallenge #3lines pic.twitter.com/Lq5GTNBMEO

My video from Königssee, Bavaria, Germany. I would like to identify the song, so if you know it please share.

The unechoed text:
a pebble in the abyss.
Did it hit or miss? #haikuchallenge #3lines

Play me a classic:
brass band, straight out the attic
lyrics empathic.

My photo from an eclectic shop on Tybee Island, Georgia.

Surfer in the sky,
let light swells titillate you
into cloudy soup.

My photograph of the lighthouse view, Tybee Island.

Errors erode like
dilapidated dwellings,
the ending of day.

I know what love is:
you and me, peas and carrots,
floating on a breeze. #haikuchallenge #love #haiku pic.twitter.com/SFySc2IzvH

My photo from a trolley tour in Savannah, Georgia.

Light cartwheels the lawn.
The fallen snow’s tranquil glow,
innocent and sweet. #haikuchallenge #3Lines #WINTER pic.twitter.com/EXh6GMeii1

Snow batter unstirred
still clingy and unsure, coats
tipsy tree branches.#haikuchallenge #3Lines #WINTER pic.twitter.com/7tPM9D5QPN

Guide with steadiness
shining brightly and cleanly,
a light keeper’s wish.#haikuchallenge #haiku pic.twitter.com/mMQWKrixNb

The Jan 27 one took my breath away. My other favourites are Jan 17 and Jan 24. But they’re all beautiful and thoughtful and interesting.

  Thank you kindly, Worms. That lake on the 27th was breathtaking. I remember we sat for hours just looking out on the lake while
  the children played. It was a slice of paradise.

Amazing, all. This one is my fav, “Earth’s third eye, the sun,
closes its clairvoyant lid.
Rest now, weary sun.” That’s epic, K.

  Thank you, Jeff. Penned at one of our favorite spots, the beach, of course. It sat in my journal from New Years. I really appreciate you reading and leaving me kind comments. Makes me smile each time. 😊

    You’re welcome, K. Always. Ah, yes, the beach. I’m actually thinking about a trip to the coast next month. Oh, I’m so glad you shared it with us. It’s always my pleasure to read you, my dear friend. ☺️💛

What a lovely collection. All my life I have been searching for true love and it’s simply peas and carrots. If only I’d known earlier!

  Might do. If there’s a corpse in the ground for snacking on.
