西方文学 Western Literature
fābiǎoxīntiè   huífùtièzǐ
Haiku (61-70)

61
children play nearby
a snake slithers out of bush
I hold my breath

62
dis, dat, de other
that’s getting too technical
let’s play tic- tac-toe

63
stop, turn and listen—
the sound of stillness
a tranquil mind

64
Daffodils dancing -
Wordsworth wandering lonely
in the golden sea

65
Look in vain in mirror
Life’s not to find who we are
But create ourselves

66
Sentences shattered
like the bridge collapsed in MN
shivering in shock

67
Avoiding red dust
He hides in the deep mountains
Reading by a creek

68
scattered reflections
even though recollected
hard to smooth the scar

69
Read by a candle
he fell asleep—a snow fox
in his fantasy

70
Around the corner
a branch of cherry blossoms
heralds a new spring

63
stop, turn and listen—
the sound of stillness
a tranquil mind     [a turmoil mind? ]

64
Daffodils dancing -
Wordsworth wandering lonely
in the golden sea    [through buzzing insects? ]

65
Look in vain in mirror
Life’s not to find who we are [ you see but a compromise ]
But create ourselves [ lineage versus want ]

67
Avoiding red dust
He hides in the deep mountains
Reading by a creek !!!!! good

69
Read by a candle
he fell asleep—a snow fox
in his fantasy [is his trembling brow]

Both will do, though with a different state of mind, I think.

Daffodils dancing -

When I wrote this, I thought about Wordsworth's "I wandered lonely as a cloud". Thus, a golden sea of daffodils.
Yours, again will also work, but a little bit different picture.

This one really makes me think hard. A lot of times, we do compromise, don't we?

Used "Red Dust" on purpose. Laughing

[is his trembling brow] Question

Thanks for your time and detailed comments.
Any suggestions as how to improve?

Knock your head ! ... and then say "bang" ;0

One does not write Haiku to depict... in contra haiku is to shock !!

' a tranquil mind' is focused on 'tranquility', so even in silence a person with such mind can hear the sound. 'a turmoil mind' is a sharp contrast of calmness, disturbing, the activity of the mind is like the undercurrent under the calm water..

'a golden sea' is pretty predictable - a field of daffodils.
"through buzzing insects" IS a surprising line where one can also feel the action - the bees, butterflies ...are stirred and take off.

Multi meanings - yeah, the state of the mind, the brow (a kind of scary lol)

Don't knock too hard, that's going to make one dizzy .
