Haiku Challenge
My silent shadow
Is my only companion
Darkness bred from light.
Its silent footsteps
Echo like my heartbeat
I’m never alone.
Two sides of a coin
I flick it up in the air
Switch from Yin to Yang.
I follow the light
Yet I hide in the darkness
My shadow is gone.
The sun and moon dance
I’m never far from the light
At last I’m at peace.
*A bit longer than haiku normally is, but the words just wanted to come out.

3 'ku
I lie here alone
under a cloudless night sky
with fallen black plums
the moon's mask of light
casts no shadow where I sleep
in solo orbit
never so alone
than a warm night of crickets
that sing not for me
for a competition

casts no shadow where I sleep
in solo orbit
never so alone
