Exceptional Origami haiku sequence Patterns : Arethusa Falls by estory

White water spirit An old song of renewal Speaks to me Alone in the woods Where memories are buried New firs sprout White water spirit Born out of the dark, cold rock Releases Into the clear sky On the wings of an eagle Where we climb This turbulent stream The birth of a bright angel This morning Author Notes The Origami haiku is one of my own inventions. Basically, it is a traditional haiku in meter except for the last line, which has only three syllables. I wanted to throw the stanzas just a little off balance. I like doing them in sequences dripping into each other, linked by a common thread of meditation. The natural image and epiphany moment from traditional haiku stay. In this case, the poem was inspired by a hike to Arethusa Falls in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The image of the waterfall, the deeply rooted fir trees around it, and the birds, speak here of accumulated memories lost, hopes for the future, renewal of spirit, transformation through experience and struggle. estory
