Posted on August 31, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

the castles I make
have sand drawbridges, and moats
no deeper than hands

    Mine always had drawbridges! Hands as a measure is perfect–and even made me think of the horses that cross the bridges. Perfect.

    A beautifully simple haiku. The best I have read today! I like the hands at the end, linking back to making – it is very well crafted.

    I like the way you showed the depth of moats.. you must have seen that moats in my haiku can’t be measured with depth.. I loved your haiku so much..

    this was such a challenging prompt… but your effort here with this one looks effortless as it came beautifully… in short this is dreamlike…

    I’ve seen moats in England, and not one of them was/is as shallow as the length of a hand. Oh, how you startled—and delighted—me with your image!

    Reminds me of times at the beach watching people sculpt wonders with their hands in the sand. 😀 DrawBridge
