faint shadows dancing
behind smooth flimsy curtain
ghoulish puppetry
thunder and flashes
whizzing past turbid waters
ripples created
Images of precious past..

wow I’m in a mystical land with this one
Ooooohhh… and don’t you just love it, Moon!?! It’s so .. well.. enchanting!!
I am happy you liked this piece, my dear.. thank you…
Kavita…I really like the way this one evokes mental imagery of the scene.
Thank you, Charles… images of the past always seems to come in distinct lfashes.. I really wonder how and why…
Glad you liked this short one, my friend..
nice… a joy to read 🙂
Gee…thanks a bunch, Robin!!!
xoxoxo
timeless imagery, well done…
Glad to see you share this one with potluck…
you rock, girl!
🙂
Aww.. anytime, Ji!! I am happy you liked this piece.. thanks a bunch, girl..
Have a beautiful week ahead..
there is a juxtaposition between ‘precious’ past and the imagery…when you use words like ghoulish, thunder, and turbid…hmm….
glad you acknowledged the contrast, Brian.. I appreciate your reading “into” the poem.. thanks a bunch, my friend..
So are you saying the precious past went down the drain?
This kind of reminds me of Plato’s concept of life as a mere reflection of a deeper reality – shadows on the wall.
you were the only one to decipher it, Alice 😉
As for shadows on the wall, that phrase has a super pronounced effect on me!! (sigh) Reminds me of a whole lot of things…
I’m a Haiku Kind A Guy….These Rocked!
Woohoo!!! You said it, and I am blessed, G!!
Love ya!!!!
Happy New Year, my friend!!
Awesome image, and between that and the words, thoughts of Shakespeare’s Tempest popped into my mind.:) A magical 160 and potluck poem.
Oooohhh…. and AM I FLATTERED OR WHAT!!! Gee Ruth… I am blushing…
Thank you ever so much for your kindest words of appreciation and encouragement here, girl… MWAAAHH!!! 😀
xoxoxo

“ghoulish puppetry”…
Thats scary… 😀
I love this haiku…
The second one is awesome…it goes so well with the picture.. 🙂
🙂 Thanks, Sumit… I thought the picture went well with the haiku… 😉 Had taken great pains hunting for the “right” pic 🙂
And those flashes take such a long detour, and yet, last only a few seconds. Strange, yet, hard to live without.
Nice Read.
You bet, Anshul!! Those flashes can sometimes take forever! 🙂 And yet, we kinda enjoy and savor them.. don’t we?
Glad you liked this one, my friend..

Shadows of the past, thunder and flashes—All the world’s a stage–your brought light and sound effects–beautiful poem.
Whoooaa!! Light and sound effects huh??? I hope all of that disturb the setting around you, Dan…
Glad you enjoyed this theatrical performance, my friend… Thank you so much for your AWESOME words here…
xoxo
I love the feelings evoked by this piece…what a glimpse behind the thin veil we call “reality”…short, simple, and stimulating…
Aww… we all have a way of hiding certain things we are not so proud of… don’t we now?
I am glad you read into this poem so beautifully, Annie.. Love you for doing that!! Thanks for “getting” me here, my dear…
Lotsa hugs coming your way!!

Wowsers! With so little of word you painted such a canvas!
Geee..thank you, AB! Haiku power is awesome!! I am glad you liked my attempt…
Have a wonderful new year, my friend..
‘Images of precious past’…yes, those images are precious, because they represent our lives captured in vignettes. Sometimes like a movie, sometimes like a snapshot, almost like the pages of a photo album.
Merry Christmas to you, Kavita.
regards,
Eaton
I like how you have put it here, Eaton.. I REALLY LIKE IT!! Yes, our pasts have a bearing on us all..don’t they? As long as they don’t have an ill effect on us, we are all good.. 🙂
Thank you soooo much for your kind and insightful words here, Eaton.. I really appreciate it…
