Haiku - 15


Jean Baptiste Corot 1845


The windmill slows down /
Soft footsteps on the stone floor /
My heart picks up speed //

A great haiku.
Paints an image of mystery - whose footsteps?

Nice Haiku. You have created a mystery in three lines. I think the footsteps belong to a lover. Well done.

Ah, I wonder who it could be :) There is definitely a mystery here :D

I,too, am listening to those faint footsteps...

No Windmill Here!

Great scene setting in this one; it takes the imagination all sorts of places. Is it a lover approaching, or someone with evil intent? So many questions...

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D

Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
