Glaring sun and wind
Try to erase old stories
Still eons to go
Gazing
Grazing cattle
Carving
Around the campfire
The dancers are in a trance
Howling to the moon
Across the flat lands
Dust rising behind the beasts
Not carved for trophy

PS. I might change the pictures. I didn't find the originals on my backup external HHD, which makes me nervous!
Love the approach to sacred places...the last haiku - most enchanted....
ReplyDeleteWell the pictures are a delight - they echo with the haiku. I love that nature does her best to erase man's pictures yet somehow they endure.
ReplyDeleteGreat set! I can very well see the dancers in the trance. Very vivid.
ReplyDeleteWow! A resounding message echoes in the first. But then I am drawn to to the simplicity and sound (alliteration) in the second. All are powerfully poems.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully conceived and written post ... very powerfully and written in true haiku simplicity .. a lovely write indeed. Bastet
ReplyDelete(Sorry, I erased the original by chance. Thank you very much!)
I feel like I'm there!
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of the petroglyphs...i especially like the first haiku verse :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've found my pictures and look, if I might add one or two.
