Captured . . .
A Collection of
Haiku
by

Kelly Carruth

I feel that my haiku has progressively matured throughout the semester. My main goal is to write about events that make life worth living. Haiku should be about those simple moments that resound in eternity. I hope you enjoy these haiku as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Reader's Introduction

The following are ten haiku written by the one I love. In each, you'll find and enjoy that the author has found a way to capture a moment in time, and paint an eleaborate and beautiful image through the medium of haiku. Her elequent poetry delivers the reader instantly to each captured moment in time. Please enjoy, as I have, this brief bit of amazing haiku.

     in the forest
we whisper
     spring rain


a box of roses
from him
no reason at all


spanish moss
frames the tap dance
of a little boy

 

 

grandpa's bible
dusted off
for someone new


All eyes stare
SHE
walks down the beach
