i soak my feet
as if i could
really touch

the moon

Power cut haiku

Just another spontaneous response to haiku by others. This time, it was Manu Kant's work available here http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=329665827251&comments

My response;

power cut--
the world vanishes
my clock ticks on

The original version of my haiku is as follows:

power cut--
the world vanishes
the clock ticks on

i recollect the moments
we shared
dying leaves by the window
