The Daily Haiku

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

August 5, 2009

Current theme: C is for Cernunnos (Celtic Mythology)

For ABC Wednesday

The Great Horned One waits
Slumbering in deep shadows
Restless and dreaming

Beneath an ancient Oak
The Lord of the Underworld
Reaches from earth to sky

In forests and glades
Enforce the natural order
Sky, stars, and seasons

Confused with the Greek Pan
No madness or violence here
Just Nature's movement

Seeker of balance
Far beyond good and evil
Spirit of the land

Symbol of the Stag
God of animals and the hunt
Crown of Forest Green

That guy can party!
I bet he'd beat Randy Pan.
Goat boy has no chance.

It's a balance, isn't it? From what little I've read, it's a constant to and fro between him and his counterpart goddess?

On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week!
