Haiku Quest

exquisite words that evoke pauses, those pauses that deepen the moments like the shadows the candles cast over the the wall. i search my mind for moments locked in my psyche, still waiting to be freed into the ocean of expressions, such as the nesting hen i found using her beak to move her egg closer to herself, the monkeys that lined the roadside for hangouts from tourists and the toad that stole into my bathroom to enjoy a bath with me. in this haiku quest, i stumble onto artistic treasures on mental floors waiting to be strewn into three liner jewellery, the brain now and then throwing gems at me challenging me to put the sparkles into them
