rising river steam
cathedral bells chime
out of synch

This haiku was edited - and improved - by Shrikaanth Krishnamurthy, the original was:

cathedral bells
chiming out of synch
river steam rising

early morning

dog walking

steam rising

A linked renku with Su Wai Hlaing

new life

flows inside my daughter

as mine ebbs

fresh new leaves are symbols of 

another new beginning 

barley

the grain grows and ripens

then harvest

summer breeze carries along

smell of harvested barley

hammering

from a distance 

my late father

reminiscing my childhood 

my dad was the best singer

lullaby music

baby is listening

to silence

summer reclining
an ant
crosses my mind

Tried and failed to get above published so reworked to:

staring up at the sky

supine

an ant crosses my mind

barley

the grain grows and ripens

then harvest

white horse ginko

gliders and ginger beer

haiku hiking

morse code crows

on the line

but no message

glinting salmon
my world briefly
then his

flash of magpie

tree bound

death on a stick

summer evening

doves

mock my silence

facing the wall
unseen
my father's paintings

smooth as silk

her body

between cotton sheets

summerhouse clock

ticking 

without talking

empty glass

still half full

of my emotions 

balmy evening

outside my window

a rowan tree

jungle road

fading into trees

what secrets?

winter walking

potato crisp noises

my feet are crunching

cicadas

in sun drenched trees

I seek shade

dragonfly hovering

long body

short life

long road

car journey

dreaming up haiku

betel nut trees

waving and stimulating

my imagination

Sun Moon Lake

sun struck water

reflecting on life

early morning incense 

cicada creaked trees

Taichung running

summer rain
swallows swooping
foot in a puddle

I submitted this following a 'when, what, where, prompt on 'sharing haiku knowledge' on facebook and receive the comment from Bee Jay:

"Usually a haiku contains one cut and two grammatical units. Your example reads like a list, unless you are showing us some swallows swooping somebody's foot in a puddle. Is that what you are showing us?"

Grateful to receive the comment I amended to:

summer rain
with swallows swooping
foot in a puddle

broken clock

still ticking

no time to fix

summer

rain on fishpond

brimful of ideas

disused station

deserted

by trains of thought

streams

silently surrendering

Hellvelyn summit
