haiku wednesday - August 13, 2008

This week's words are
intimate
river
waiting

Since I enjoy wordplay, I'm disappointed in myself that I did not use intimate as a verb or waiting as a noun. I'm guessing very few people will. Anyway, I am so fried from too much work and too little sleep that I took a fairly straightforward, brute force approach this week. Happy hump day!

waiting for spring's warmth
snow sleeps, intimate with cold
a river one day

intimate whispers
rumors--a river of lies
waiting for your truth

remote river bridge
soldiers share intimate thoughts
waiting for doom's fire

    The second was my favorite. I think it speaks much truth that often gets ignored.

    Regardless of whether you chose verbs or nouns, this is a lovely series. The first is my favorite-- snow dreaming of being a river-- what a great image.
