I love a green serpent dancer.. that describes it so well
ReplyDeleteThanks Bjorn ... it's been years since I've seen the Northern Lights right overhead, but my memory assisted me ...
DeleteSuperb - great third line
ReplyDeleteThanks Hamish ... glad you enjoyed my fragment :-) I've been doing a bit of study ;-)
DeleteI've seen the Northern Lights only twice, but both times they were just as you describe them: a treat!

Thanks MMT for sharing this with me. They really are a treat!
DeleteI'm really tired this afternoon, and I realized just moments ago that I commented on Chèvrefeuille's haiku, not yours! I do like the image of a serpentine dancer snaking her/its way across the heavens. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo problem ... this gave me the opportunity of thanking you twice :-) I'm glad you liked the image of a serpentine dancer .. they always reminded me either of a snake in the sky or sometimes a green water fall streaming in the sky.
DeleteGlad I read this comment. I never thought of the Northern Lights as a waterfall before, but why not? It's an image that certainly fits.

ReplyDeleteThanks Dolores! It's so cool looking at the lights dance in the sky!
DeleteVery nice haiku ... you have painted a spectacular image with your words ... I like the idea of dancing serpent ... that's how it looks those Northern Lights ... wonderful response.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristjaan .. I was remembering how the Northern Lights seemed to dance when i was in Alaska. I however didn't know that there were Northern Lights in Holland .. what a delightful surprise!
