amid tones of green
she blends golden daffodils
spring’s perfect timbre
Summer hit Florida full on this week so I was a bit nostalgic for a midwestern spring until I saw that it snowed up there this week! So here’s hoping for a real spring for my northern fam and friends and a bit more springish temps for me. 😉
Thanks to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge. Our words this week are pitch and tone. I substituted timbre for pitch.
Once again, Freya at Pure Haiku has chosen one of my pieces for her “emergence” themed series. Thanks!!!
You can read my piece (and many other great haiku) at Pure Haiku.
monkeys in my mind
navigate the scenic route
shunning the serene
Actual selfies of author trying to meditate 😉
Thanks for the inspiration to Rovovan Writes Haiku challenge and of course a big thank you to Frank Constanza–the father of “Serenity Now!”
engines went silent
the time to fly was over
mother nature won
I loved the peaceful feel of this photo by David Kovalenko but it also made me think of the orange one and his minion’s hysterical (and completely untrue) claim (let’s call it what it is—a lie) that the Green New Deal would abolish flying. This weird little haiku came out of that head space.
Thanks Susi. Read more and see the details for the haiku challenge at I Write Her.
she never minded
steering through the tight spaces
just the narrow minds
Thanks to Ronovan Writes (narrow / minded) and the WOTD Challenge (teachable) for the inspiration.
Check out their sites for details on the challenges and some great writing.
