Haiku: Circle (HH Prompt)

Posted on 2015-01-04 by merlinspielen

Haiku 1:
once around the sun
we mark from darkness to light
find ourselves older

Haiku 2
geometry is
limited she said breaking
into my circle.

Inspired by the theme word “CIRCLE” at
Haiku Horizons

  Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I must say I like the the multiple meanings of circle. Layered words like circle also show why it is so difficult to translate meaning between languages.

    Very welcome 🙂
    
    Makes you understand how one translation can be bogus, and another can be a masterpiece. Getting a sense of the layers is the trick …

I like them both by I liked the second better. The interpersonal nature captured my attention. You write of such things so well.
