Breath: a haibun

Morning silvery sky: the coolness caresses my cheek.There is a shiver amoung the banana fronds, the response of a gentle breeze.

Arms stretched wide,  i inhale,  hold,  exhale,  again and again. This fitting exercise of breath is like giving thanks for the morning; new crisp and fragile.

on the neighbour's roof -

there a kiskadee is perched in

silence for a while

    I love your breath haibun, Gilena, particularly ‘shiver among the banana frond’ and the little kisadee perched on the neighbour’s roof!

    A peaceful start to the day. I enjoyed the imagery and taking in the breaths. I had to look up "kiskadee". A fine fellow.

    I enjoyed the sense of a ritual, a welcome to the morn. And the Kiskadee (had to look it up) is reminiscent of our flycatchers here, a beautiful bird for a haiku :)
