C4 ward BLOGATHON March, Day 9

Sunday Haiku

Composing a Haiku (HI-coo) about your creative experience

I love haiku...took a class in it years ago but have not written any poetry for many years so I am going to use several old haikus from back then...they sort of speak of my art and creative experience




onto the floor 
my chowder spills 
welcome mat 

***

rusty chains 
of human bondage
freedom 

***

daylight hides 
in a lake 
of molten sun 

***

she sips her coffee 
as the whippoorwill calls 
sunrise 

***

music by the bay 
at the foot of a mountain 
we dance 

***

into her shirt 
a grasshopper crawls 
new clothes

  1. Love these, Darlene - and the leaf photo is a wonderful ending. Grounded beauty. That's what you and your work embody completely.

    1. I absolutely love haikus and the idea of them....a little "aha" moment, no punctuation or capitals and no title...minimal words to convey an idea, .I learned from a poet on AllPoetry where I have all my poetry posted..Thanks Ruth for stopping by...this was a fun prompt...
