Waves roll our vessel
As water forms skyscrapers
The calm has left us

The Singer So Shy
She stood near the cold fireplace, watching the second-hand tick down to the hour. In another minute, the clock's bird would emerge and warble the hour. She reached up and touched the clock, tracing the gentle slope of the farmhouse roof, then trailing down the lilac strewn side, to the white fence framed dooryard. She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.

So few words and yet so powerful! This was a heart palpitating Haiku!!
That photo complements Haiku very well. The sense of foreboding was so prominent. I loved it!
Great job!
