Brighid of Byrness Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 I thought it would be 'fun' to create a thread where any of us can pop in and share our thoughts/feelings/experiences through haiku. I like creating images with words but often don't have the time to sit down and write/rework a poem. The haiku is the perfect vehicle for a creative snippet. So, here's a quick one inspired by my love of fall and an image I received regarding the nature of death: Crimson maple leaf quivering on the bare branch: It’s a faith-full fall. Quote

The Portrait of Zool Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 First fire? I'm jealous! Nice Haiku. Going to have to think about the next one! Quote
Brighid of Byrness Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Posted October 10, 2013 Don't think too hard, Zool, because then I'll have to start putting thought and effort into mine! I just like the option of expressing my thoughts and actions of the moment in the form of a haiku! It's all about the fun and joy for me And the fire was a very small one, but brightened my spirits immensely. I always look forward to fall and winter so I can sit contentedly next to the fire. Quote
