Warehouse


                                                                               Squall 1986 by Andrew Wyeth

Trees kept wondering
Saplings outside the warehouse
Full grown since stood tall

Crowds streamed endlessly
in but emptiness at dusk
Misty in the dark

Accentuating
suspicions were crates moved in
in stealth of late nights

Note: Was on the road. This was meant for the preceding Haiku Heights ( trees) and d'Verse ( photos) Had it adjusted for these later submissions.Will catch up with comments of those on my recent postings shortly. (apologies!)

Written for Tess' Magpie 144, Chev' CARPE DIEM #48 with prompt Mist and Poet's United Poetry Pantry #124

    interesting....nice personification of the trees....and their ponderings at the going ons of us humans....i imagine they think us a menace in many ways...

    'Misty in the dark', good line, very well crafted haiku. Love the way you have intwined several prompts of different memes in this set of haiku. Thank you for sharing with Carpe Diem.

    The trees come to life
    As we caused them strife
    Turning them into works
    Must think we are jerks

    Very well written, the three of them, powerful and touching. Ah, if trees could speak...

    I love the fog that hovers over your haikus. It gives them an eerie edge of suspicion on the dark, misty docks where we know questionable deals go down. I am reminded of James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart here. Great work, Hank. =D

    I personify trees in my head all the time. That was my favorite haiku, but all were nice.

    =)

    Holidaying? Have a pleasant trip. Been reading your works quietly of late. Thought of saying 'hi' today.. Your haiku today has that indie-touch I think brilliant, love your set! – ♥

    Accentuating
    suspicions

    There is a bit of a mystery here in the painting...
