22 Loony for Lunes

Over at dVerse Poets Pub, they're exploring the Lune  (or should I say Lunes) for this week's FormForAll.  I thought I'd give it a go.  

Lune:  Lily Pads

 #1 (Kelly Lune)
violescent hues
dance along
riverbeds--waiting

 #2 (Collom Lune)
frogs play hopscotch
'cross turbulent waters with not
a single care
Lune:  Holiday Scraps

 #1 (Kelly Lune)
strung popcorn festoons
appear now
as nothing but string

 #2 (Collom Lune)
fires still crackle 
with leftover remnants of gifts 
stoking their flames


An Aside:  For additional inspiration, I used the "Word of the Day" from two separate dictionary apps.  Dictionary.com:  violescent (adj.) - tending to a violet color.  Merriam-Webster:  festoon (n.) - 1. a decorative chain or strip hanging between two points; 2. a carved, molded or painted ornament representing a decorative chain.

    I really enjoyed these - especially the popcorn strings. Do you really do that? It's not something I've come across before.

    All are good, but the first is killer good. So beautiful and anticipatory.

    The frogs playing hopscotch verse gave your series a very playful feel.

    There is no

    I loved all these but my favourite is the empty popcorn festoons...I can imagine eating away at these over the festive season...very nice indeed.

    Great to see you put together something for the Kelly lune and the Collom lune. Your images are very strong, riverbeds, frogs, ribbons and flames. I especially like the second lune, because it echoes the frog in arguably the most-famous of all haikus by Basho.

    I liked this one:

    violescent hues
    dance along
    riverbeds--waiting

    It gives feed to the imagination and let you ponder on the status of the lily. It says something important about the urge to achieve.
