AHS Summer Solstice Haiku String 2017

AHS invites you to share with us your original haiku about Peace, a subject that is particularly pertinent at Christmas time. There are many associations with peace such as harmony, freedom and stillness. We invite you to explore these ideas in the String without using the word ‘peace’.

The haiku will be linked by the subject Peace. It is not necessary for each haiku to relate to the one before it.

our hopes and dreams

  2. first light
    tranquility till horizon
    and beyond

    late winter
    the silence of icicle
    dripping

    nuclear test
    in the headlines
    peace talks

  3. released from pain
    this tiny breath
    has been her last
    Sharyn Jones

    in dawn’s chill
    wreath’s rest
    on bronze soldiers

    Sharyn Jones

    beneath pink skies
    wooden boats
    kiss the horizon

  4. lashes seal
    the toddler’s eyes at last
    summer dusk

    shattered buildings
    the faint strains
    of a violin

    the undertone
    of busy insects
    … retirement

    Peace Lily’s leaves lift

  6. once more
    around the lake
    bronze wing

    Rose van Son

    pink sky
    magpie lark’s chorus
    song

    Rose van Son

    after holidays
    dove on the fence
    again
