Haven of solitude amongst rising thoughts.


Grandpa clock ticking
Pendulum shadow hovers
My face, a blank screen

Every blink of eye
Seeks haven of solitude 
Amongst rising thoughts

Eternal struggle
Wishing to let life for rent
Heart pines for closure






I have refrained myself from explaining my haiku this time. It's open for interpretation. Leave back your opinion in my comments. I would love to know what idea reached you... whether it's in the same frequency as i wrote. Maybe i'll find another meaning to the same words. Looking forward to the response.


This Haiku is written for the Haiku Heights. The prompt for this week is 'PINE'.

    Yes, hearts pine for closure. I can relate to that very well. Lovely set of haiku Pranita. Have a great weekend. See you next week.

    But then hearts hope too Prinita.. I find a little sadness here..you wrtie well ..and thanks for your visits to my Masked Poems.. and one more thing.. second one appears one expression..I mean all three lines are making actually one line..see if you can transform it a bit..unless you want the second to be connecting expression to first and third..

    RS:)

      Yes sir... heart hopes too! I haven't explained my haiku this time.. it's open for interpretation.. :)

      Oops! I dint observe the second one making a single expression.. i wrote it in three separate lines, but looks like it turned out to be one whole!
      Thanks a lot! :)

    I feel for your sadness. Your blog took about 10 minutes to open and then refused to scroll down or close, so this is my third attempt to read your poem!

    Sad and melancholy...I hope the heart finds the closure.

    And I don't think you have to explain what your poem means as it really depends on the reader ~

    The French poet Paul Valéry said:" My verses are enriched by the meaning given to them by my readers…" Here's your enigmatic poem in French!
    Best regards


    L'horloge de grand-père fait tic-tac
    L'ombre du balancier plane
    Mon visage, un écran blanc

    Chaque clin d'œil
    Cherche un havre de solitude
    Parmi les pensées qui émergent

    Eternel combat
    Désirant laisser la vie à louer
    Le cœur se languit de la cloture

    The slow and resonant tick of a grandfather clock relaxes and brings pleasant solitude. Great Haiku.

    A sense of lingering deep sadness where a spirit feels helpless to change time, but needs to move on with time! Very moving!

    I think, sometimes melancholy enhances the beauty of words. I liked it especially the second one!:)

    Why must there be a meaning? American poet Archibald MacLeish, in "Ars Poetica," wrote: "a poem must not mean but be."
