2023 AWAKENING xxiii
- sleeping babe
a number of views
hazy moon - full moon
against mum’s breast
sleeping baby - waking baby
with an open mouth…
full moon - hazy moon
baby’s mouth
opens - clumps of snow —
whatever becomes
of baby’s blanket - morning avalanche —
breastmilk settles
in baby’s mouth - mouth of milk
who’s that coming
to view a full moon? - hazy moon
seasoned father
blows smoke
out from his lips - a clear view
of a full moon…
baby bottle - hazy moon–
the view blocked
by the boiling pot - pink avalanche–
anxious teens stumble onto
positive pregnancy tests
2023 AWAKENING xxii
- snow-heavy blossoms her feeding breasts
- hazy moon
below her eyes
swollen breasts
- cherry blossoms—
seasoned husband
sneaks into his wife’s blouse - peeking into
wife’s sleeping shirt…
cherry blossoms - peeking out
from wife’s soiled shirt…
cherry blossoms - peeking in, peeking out
through soiled blouse…
cherry blossoms - anxious husband peeks
over wife’s shoulder…
cherry blossoms - a wiggling worm
peeks out…
excited husband - creeping vine
peeks out from husband’s pants
looking for sex - under covers of darkness
seasoned husband slithers
from his hole - distant cherry blossoms—
the spring colors
of her breasts
2023 AWAKENING xviii
- marble statue–
sleepy mums
similar shapes to each other - hazy moon
mum’s breast sinks
deeper into the dark - occasional whispers
of mum’s youth…
bitter wind - bundling frizzy hair
with ease…
summer sunset - summer sunset —
mum’s frizzy hair
in a bundle - noonday heat–
how mum’s curls linger
into place - sucking on a
bottle of milk…
melting snow - spots of milk
stuck to the bottle…
snowdrops - milk
dripping, dripping…
snowdrops - melting snow —
baby formula
dripping, dripping - squeezed formula
between the fingers —
falling snow
2023 AWAKENING xviii
- pink tornado
giggling baby grabs
mum’s circling finger - pink tornado–
twirling finger
makes a perfect circle - plunging my hands
into mum’s palms…
pink waterfall - pink moon–
baby’s suckling lips
cling to mum’s breast - snowballs
scattering mum’s pearls
onto the floor - fussy baby
still in the crib–
hazy moon - dried milk
in dark and thick strokes…
moonlight - straight gaze
of thick moonlight…
drying milk - spilt milk
every dribble looks
like a pillow - avalanche
spilt milk dribbles
deeper into the dark - baby formula
is blown away…

HELL IS MOVING
My apologizes, my beloved followers, but this Madasahatter needs to take some time away from daily postings. I might or might not be moving and we all know that Moving has its own levels of hell and frustration that one must contend with. So until I am settled down once more, I shall say, Thank You for the daily follow and comments and encouragement. You might find me via Facebook under my name Dorna Hainds.
I am going to try and continue Haiku for as long as possible.
One can only pack and move and re-rearrange so much, right?
Until my return, I bid you farewell. And always, try and find some Happy in your days.
Sincerely,
Madasahatter572
HAPPY 2021
it is 2021 elsewhere 😉
