Eyes heavily stitched
He treads hearts like paving stones
Feigning ignorance

My dreams are like stones
Scattered around a bed
Of wild violets

The hawk-eyed sun roosts
In the east, above a gem
Embellished skyline

I am a lizard
You are my sun-infused stone
Rescinding winter

Her stonework heart holds
Fast to ascetic margins
Loneliness ensured

Sumi-e master
Anoints rice paper in blood
Ground from inkstone heart

(the 2nd one might sound strange sans explanation I am very withdrawn and daydreaming sometimes prevents me from seeing the beauty in front of me, its like a wall, I had writer’s block today and the attention span of a gnat so lol)

The strongest one is the “dreams like stones” haiku; well done, your haiku writing style reminds me of Issa; example:
burden with dark thoughts
I climbed the mountain to find
wildflowers blooming

Thank you so much Brian I wrote the last one during a dream lol
My two favorites:
My dreams are like stones
Scattered around a bed
Of wild violets
I did read your explanation…but, even if I didn’t, I would have enjoyed this haiku. I think to myself, what a beautiful setting for those dreams to rest. One could not have wished for more than to be immersed in violets.
Her stonework heart holds
Fast to ascetic margins
Loneliness ensured
I picture this…and can feel this heart, kind of holding itself in, not reaching out, being trapped by its margins. I wish it would give itself permission to expand…..
I hope she will too! Thank you Mary =)
You certainly have a sense for Haiku and I think the 2nd is my favorite. I get a wonderful image from it.

“My dreams are like stones
Scattered around a bed
of wild violets”
This is my favorite of your offerings. A response haiku:
rose granite dreams
tremble with ancient scents
hard beneath my head
Alice that is gorgeous I love it! And thank you =)
