What a beautiful Haiku!Ā
I usually don't love Haiku's(they seemed like the lazy man's poetry to me. lol), and I don't understand them(something about counting the letters, or something, and I can barely count to two without having a brain aneurysm), but yours is fantastic!! Long live Haiku by you!!Ā
Great job. Wonderful, like you. Hatchoo!!Ā
So pleased you enjoyed this Haiku..I know what you meanĀ about Haiku's though..It doesn't feel like poetry in the typicalĀ 'story telling' vein that we are used toĀ but what it does do is concentrate the mind into reducing what you want to say into much smaller bite sized pieces that convey the story to the readerĀ Ā in just 3 lines of 5,7 and 5 sylables..I can sometimes be inclined to waffle on and onĀ with a poem never everĀ knowing quite where to stop!!! In the UK we would describe that by saying ...Ā ' going onĀ and on like an andrex' ( Andrex being a roll of toilet tissue..catch my meaning?)..so I use Haiku's as an exercise in conciseĀ story telling ..and that way save on bathroom accoutrements!! Thanks so much my honorary for your kind words which always lift my spirits..Bless you xx
