suns in each stillness
till new waves move the raindrops
in surprise

"We're all out there, somewhere, waiting to happen."
Sweet FA by Blake 
“Suns in each stillness” would make a great title for a novel! This is another wonderfully layered piece, Blake. 🙂
Perhaps it would 🙂 Although… I wouldn’t read it! I’m picturing a heart-warming tale on the prairie, a houseful of women darning quilts; it’s narrated by the youngest girl, awkwardly but intelligently moving from adolescence to young womanhood… it’s a best-seller, though 😉
Thanks, Jen, glad you liked it. I do enjoy how writing haiku lets you see layers in all the little things..
Okay, this description made me laugh — and you’re quite right – which means the book would have a movie that would land on the Hallmark channel. Double ick!!!
But it is great as a haiku 😉
BTW — I’ve been enjoying NEU! very much — a great sound to fuel haiku! 😀
It has a great, hypnotic groove to it, hey? I remember when I got into this album, a few years ago, I’d listen to this song repeatedly at work when I had a particularly dull chore to get through – it worked wonders! It’s nice to know that it has similar beneficial effects for writing haiku 🙂
Oh, it IS hypnotic – mostly – a “difficult” moment here & there 😉
Felt like it lent just enough focus!
