High on Haiku

It’s quite unfortunate that just when I began trying my hand at Haiku, my inspiration site, Haiku Heights is gone for good. But I did find this post buried deep in my drafts.

The prompt was clap, and the date was something I don’t remember. Anyway, here goes,

Joker applaudes

For Haiku Heights

Prompt: CLAP

———————

Clap, clap, clap

he saw them do,

unhearing

——–

She clapped; young saw

wide eyes winced

as pain seared

——–

The bird clapped wings

the girl, she watched

wonder eyes widen

——–

The mother left

soared, clapping and flying

while waited the nestling

——–

Palms come together

applause — you and I,

joy

How does that make you feel?
