Breath
shining crystal star
topping off the Christmas tree—
the glassblower’s breath

This is beautiful…just imagining the glassblower creating his/her work of art…lovely image.
I wanted to watch a glassblower at work when I was in Ireland a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.

you could go to Corning NY. If the Steuben glass museum is stil there. I watched them many a time. .
I like the shine you placed on your haiku.
and as regards your comment: you are right of course.
Love it, Mark. I too can see the glass blower making your star. 🙂
And yes, we did get to watch the glass blowers at the old Waterford factory near Killarney. Sooo interesting. They made a lot of items for us to watch but they didn’t make stars while we were there. I am thinking though, that the process might be to blow a main part and then by heat fasten the rest of the points.
Beautiful, Mark. You conjure the human caring and craft that ensouls and enlivens so many of the things that fill our world. I am mindful of the Buddhist blessing before meals: “seventy two labors have brought us this food…” I wonder how many hands have helped to brew the tea in my cup. Your haiku reminds me to be appreciative and grateful.
I am profoundly grateful for your insightful comment, John. Thank you. My day is complete!

glassblower’s breath, stunning.
Very nice, Mark — leaving a part of himself with his work 😀
wow!
I think this goes very deep.. Love the breath captured in crystal.
Beautiful haiku image! My grand-daughter always points to the star at the top of any Christmas tree she sees 🙂
Smart granddaughter! 😉 Happy New Year!
