The Daily Haiku

A world of five - seven - five. At one time daily, now kind of sporadic.

October 15, 2008

Current theme: A whole swarm of M's

For ABC Wednesday Round 3

M is for Makuahine, Makuakane

Makuahine
Hawaiian word for 'Mother'
Warm enlightenment
(pronounced Mah-Koo-Ah-Hee-Nay)

Makuakane
Hawaiian word for 'Father'
Solid foundation
(pronounced Mah-Koo-Ah-Kah-Nay)


M is for Metamorphoses

Poem collection
By the Roman poet, Ovid
Saving the Greek Myths

And banished from Rome
'Caused more harm than poetry'
Speak against Augustus?


M is for Michelle

My sister of blood
One of the three that drives me
Our backs to the sun
