Anachronism [Haiku]

the temple might stand
a thousand years ago,
but for that city.

“So set its Sun in Thee” (808) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

So set its Sun in Thee
What Day be dark to me —
What Distance — far —
So I the Ships may see
That touch — how seldomly —
Thy Shore?

PROMPT: Writing

Daily writing prompt
What do you enjoy most about writing?

EPIPHANIES.

But, if you think about it, writing is miraculous. In the scheme of gifts that nature grants, it is way out beyond left field. Encoding ideas and images in simple characters in a way that can evoke emotional or cognitive responses in readers is kind of a superpower. (As is reading.)

Dark Delta [Haiku]

sun sets upon
the river delta:
then pitch black night.

Shade [Haiku]

summer day from shade:
time attunes to floating
clouds and ducks.

“Wanderers” by Walter de la Mare [w/ Audio]

Wide are the meadows of night, 
And daisies are shinng there,
Tossing their lovely dews,
Lustrous and fair;

And through these sweet fields go,
Wanderers amid the stars --
Venus, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune,
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars.

'Tired in their silver, they move,
And circling, whisper and say,
Fair are the blossoming meads of delight
Through which we stray.

Note: the word “shinng” seems to be spelled that way in all sources. I don’t know whether it was a typo, dialectic, or a heterodox spelling.
