Kym’s emotional rescue post really struck a chord with me. It inspired me to try writing a few haiku of my own, and I was surprised by how much fun it was—and what a refreshing little pause it gave me from my usual day-to-day worries.
I’m not sure if I’ll make “Haiku Friday" a regular thing but I enjoyed the process so much that I thought I’d share the two I came up with. I used a couple of my photos as prompts, and the words just seemed to flow naturally.
So here I am, happily seconding Kym’s idea: write a haiku! Whether you feel like sharing one in the comments or just jotting one down for yourself, I hope it brings you the same bit of calm and joy it gave me.
quiet and silent
curled up spotted fawn hiding
in a tiny ball
pink glaze shining bright,
sprinkles whisper sweet secrets
a bite waits for joy
sprinkles whisper sweet secrets
a bite waits for joy
Aw, that sweet little fawn! I have to tell you that I think that's the best poem about a donut I've ever read!
ReplyDeletePerfection, Bonny! I especially love the donut haiku! However, I will have to do with an English Muffin this morning (but I do have a bit of lemon curd to top it with!)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful Bonny! Little spotted fawn...so sweet. Hope your weekend is filled with both quiet and joy.
ReplyDeletePink frosted with sprinkles? The best. That's all I'm going to think about all day.
ReplyDeleteI remember writing haiku in a college class back when we had to type our assignments using onion skin paper. How I suffered in order to get one clean copy to hand in.
I took that donut picture years ago and it's all I can think about today.
