runs for dictionary....

"....elaborative application of repeating geometric forms that often echo the forms of plants and animals." - WOW! what a way to describe something!

No Offense...

however, I believe the "Bestes" Title for this should be "Speckled Dreams" Sincerely, Mark

Hey!

I count six syllables in the second line. Am I seeing things? Whether yea or nay, otherwise nice, richly crafted haiku. Thanx, Chuck

You are right Chuck

There are six syllables in the 2nd line. This was intentional. I have Checked many sites about the Haiku. Experts on the subject do not recommend the strict 5/7/5 pattern. One can deviate but the syllables should be kept within 17. I have read some great haiku where they have not adhered strictly to the 5/7/5 pattern. Thanks a million for your appreciation. Leonard

Thanx ...

for the info. Now that I think further on it, I remember reading something to that effect. Myself, I've been careful to adhere to the stricter count; it's nice to know---or to have confirmation---that I don't have to be so thus constricted. Yours, Chuck

my goodness gracious me!

did no-one notice that jessK nailed the problem with this piece in the very first comment? The reflexivity of arabesque to nature to arabesque. Very naughty Janice and Leonard, you nearly got away with a cheap trick. cheers, Jess
