Green, Brown, or: Blue

A ‘Magnetic Poem’ haiku

Wanna try? Click here.

green moss river winds
over earthly ancient brown
for bright breezy blue

Notes

For this poem, I stuck with the ‘Nature Poet’ virtual magnet set and with the haiku form again because they are outside of my wheelhouse;
Still, having said that, this is definitely getting easier for me;
Also, if the virtual magnets do remain the same every week, I might switch to another set and/or form… we’ll see.

I love the layering going on in this poem. Each line has a distinctly different mood, that overall, has a pleasant rhythmic sound.

I especially like the first line. I’m trying to do some greenish paintings (not too successfully so far) and that’s just the feeling I’m looking for. (K)

I love haiku – it has the rhythm of breathing to me…
Sanctuary wild
Must follow through cold fresh breeze
Vivid rose has rest

A good work on green, brown or blue. Can you explain me ?
1. ben Alexander February 22, 202110:01 Reply
  
  Sure, Lokesh, the green is the moss, the brown is the tree trunk, and the blue is the sky. Does that help?

    Yes, clear. I was little confused about blue. Beautiful writing 👌.
