Haiku Heights #111 – Blue This time I decided to offer two haikus – one “classic” and one American:
Bluebells ringing soft
My eyes will hear the whisper
Of the silent night.
***
At no haste.
Mirror on the lake.
Blue. Awake.

I love blue and these haiku are both so pretty – bluebells are among my favourite flowers and I can spend literally hours gazing into the cove’s mirror…
Ruth, bluebells are among my favourites, too. Thank you for your words of appreciation.
nice blue haiku
I have loved bluebells ever since I met my first ones in a little wooded area on a farm I owned several years ago. Your strategic placement of “bluebells” as the first word in your haiku awakens so many good memories for me. And I love that line about your eyes hearing the whisper–oh, that’s startlingly delicious!
Shadowy Blue Haiku

Thanks for your visit. You have inspired this piece based on the Dutch 11 word Elfje:
bluebells
silent ring
heard in dreams
pastel lilt lingering still
dainty
