she smiles
at her reflection
on thin ice
ducks gather
around the campfire
danger, thin ice
their shadow
makes love in mirror
soft icy warmth
This Haiku is shared with Carpe Diem - Usurai (Thin Ice).
Foreboding and beautiful at the same time...
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith :-)

Deletewonderful images....I think we all look at our reflections and smile...but she won't be smiling for much longer.....
ReplyDeleteA reflection on thin ice certainly won't last long,will it?

ReplyDeletekinda scary on thin ice....sitting ducks just waiting for the crack!
ReplyDeleteI hope they are ok :-)

DeleteHey, G.S, I do like those ducks around the campfire. If on the ice the fire will make the ice thinner.
ReplyDeleteWe have a saying in the U.S, "skating on thin ice," which means be careful in what you are doing. It is wrong and it could sink you. It's very similar to one called "living on the edge."
..
Yes I have heard the saying, and very true indeed :-)
Deleteyour haiku shadows deeper meanings . Loved it :)
