this photo, first published here at Lunch Break, Chacachacare Saturday March 19th 2011, when i recorded a visit of my book club to the island of Chacachacare, which was used for the setting of 'Prospero's Daughter' a novel written by Trinidadian Elizabeth Nunez.


Today's haiku written in response to the prompt at
Carpe Diem #787 Lighthouse of Alexandria (reprise)


...Gardner went to the lighthouse alone after that. Each time he returned exhausted, his eyes glassy, his limbs limp, his skin pale. He collapsed into his bed and slept for hours. Whenever a rainstorm threatened, he became agitated. Before the first drop fell,he was off again to the lighthouse his bag on his back, his cane in his hand. As irrational as it seemed to me then, I found myself thinking that it was he, not nature, that had caused that terrible storm that had brought him to us, he who had engineered it...[google search excerpt, from 'Prospero's Daughter]

sea spray -
far distant mountains cradle
an old lighthouse

framed for
a pirouge's view clouds
touching the mountains

lure of the mountains -
what secrets reside there
sentinel lighthouse
