Ammersee—
where the heavens look
in the mirror
.
reflecting the skies
lake Ammersee forgets
itself
.
Ammersee–
looking in the mirror
the clouds long for home
.
sundown—
the clouds lose their
perspective
.
sunset—
golden light anoints
the world
.
I wrote this haiku responding to two prompts: the NaHaiWriMo extension prompt, “ mirror,” set by Susan Delphine Delaney; and the call for submissions by Walter Bjorkman. Susan is setting the prompts for July for the wonderful facebook community of haiku poets, NaHaiWriMo. Walter is hosting the blog carnival Language/Place, on the theme of “Poetry of Place.” Submissions of links to Walter on this theme are open till the 20th of July.
The photograph of the lake Ammersee was taken one evening this summer.
