paralyzed by my

own overextendedness –

the sun rises late

pink wooden dreidel

spins fast by the candlelight -

we can’t look away

In honor of Hanukkah, we’re inviting readers to share haiku on the subject of light. Add your “light” haiku as a comment. We enjoy 5-7-5, uncounted, nature themed and non-nature themed haiku, so don’t worry about the rules.  And there’s no time limit — today, tomorrow, next week — post your “light” haiku!

dead fly on counter–

naked trees stand bravely in

anemic sunlight

by Kelly

tree frogs feed at the

front door light — in the shadows

pale pink petunias

by Kelly

The man next to me

at a red light lights up a pipe!

I wish I knew him.

by Kelly

god communicates

via sunlight shattered and

dancing on water

by Kelly

so many mornings

disguised as evenings — I long

for 6 am sun

daughter and puppy

lying on the sunny spot

of the bathroom floor

brittle, bitter cold

and bald sunlight bleach stillness;

leech life from bleak forms

.

dawn plays coy with day

vowing to take things slowly

in this month of love
