one almond, waiting

by Kristina Woodhill

one almond, waiting
pushed under the fabric's edge
brown table-top bump

Author's Note: early morning revelation, right before it popped into my mouth. I liked this a lot, until I read David Hill's dozen ku-ryus and felt properly humbled. I am a brown table-top bump, I am.... ;)

But, haiku is the expression of a temporary enlightenment, in which we see into the life of things. And you have grasped the thing-in-itself. And this remains as memory of that specific almond. Delighted (almond joy?).

This one is easy to envision, and I would have eaten that almond, even if it had fallen on the floor. (and thanks for the promo)

Hee! This made me smile.

That's a bump I'd take any day! Very enjoyable.

a thing of beauty ( as is this poem ) is a joy forever ----- John Keats.
