Haiku Festival


I can Haiku,

too.

Writing poetry so restricted by guidelines im finding relatively impossible :)
& yet this poetry which envelopes the essence of beautiful moments, i find so stimulating!

My first attempt ~

Fewer words say more

i couldn't finish it meaningfully Can anyone help me?


My 2 favourites from here & here

"Morning air
Tightly rolled
In her curlers"

&

"Drop by drop
Onto the old lantern
December rain"{& a beautiful video}

& a day of some sadness,

reading these stories,

& to see these dear children

Today ~

Capturing moments
So beautiful to behold,
They reside Forever

Together a light!

  3. You have written such a lovely and meaningful post. I feel sad too to see the terrible things you have highlighted but I also feel uplifted by the lanterns!
    I tried to finish your first attempt-
    Fewer words say more,
    Silence says it all at times,
    Combined with a touch.
    Or
    Fewer words say more,
    A look, a silent touch may
    Express my love now.
    Anyway,
    lovely to visit!
    Sarah :)
