Bowl of blue light
Entry hall in a church in Southern Arizona
 


Bowl of heaven’s light—
desert monk sits down to eat
his New Year’s breakfast.

    i did not think i would ever find a favorite within your haiku for they all speak straight to my heart. but, the image you create with your perfect words nourishes me in a deep,soul stirring way! thank you for each haiku you offer so generously through out the year, each one a perfect sacrament of light.

    Sometimes that is enough! That and a visit here to see what you are doing with 17 syllables today! May your heart and your bowl be filled with heaven’s light today and always!

    Awesome MMT, I love the way you have been inspired by the haiku I gave by Buson.

    What an unusual photo. Makes one look twice…then three times. Happy Holidays to you.

    This beautiful view may be stark to some – yet the mere decoration on the ceiling adds a bit of celebration but that window sits unadorned. Making it a perfect for the monk to look upward to heaven. It is a nice room for worship…merry Christmas!

    I have to say I agree with everyone here..]
    …have been away, writing over at dversepoets.com and stepped away from haikus for awhile and now catching up some…..
    Happy Holidays! Feliz Ano Nuevo
