Elizabeth at About New York and Tracy at Pink Purl are hosting a haiku festival on Monday, May 11th. I decided to join and have been pondering my entry. You can click on either link and find many people writing much better haiku than mine! The haiku muse has not been around Willow's Cottage much lately, but here are my two attempts.
White against the blue-
sky, boats, sea blend together.
A perfect sail day.
I named it Neon.
But The Professor called it
red circus clown hair.

Good Haiku!! It goes well with the picture!
That is a vibrant red...and clown hair is a good description!
:) Thank you for making me smile! I love Haiku poems. And I love that yarn!!
I really liked the last one...gave me a good chuckle.
Ha! Love the Professor's name "red circus clown hair. Hey both of those sound great to me :0)
Both very nice, but "clown hair" has so much whimsical charm!
Both charming, but the second one is brilliant! (I'm with the Professor.)

Wonderful haiku!
The clown hair made me giggle! =)
These are great, Willow...Love the humor of the second poem. What a contrast to the serenity of the first! Your photos add wonderfully to the experience. So glad you joined us in this event--it's been such fun! Happy Day ((HUGS))
Enjoyed them both and the photographs, as well.
I liked them both, but I especially liked the second one. Great color!
LoL
I loved both haiku's Willow! The first for it's peacefulness a,d the second for its humor!
This was a fun festival!
Love the circus clown hair
They're great -- I must admit a preference for the latter, if only because it tickled my funny bone in just the right way :)
I esp like the second Haiku. Happy Mother's Day!
sails and clown hair :-D :-D!!!
Both of your Haiku are great Willow.
It is a great art form and before yesterday, I had never been much aware.
Thank you for your contribution. I like both very much.

The clown hair really made me laugh out loud.
Husbands have a gift for saying the exact/wrong/right thing.....
the boat one was peaceful and lovely too.
Loved your haiku about the sea. The second one is an unexpected delight.
I love them and the second one made me laugh! Great job. Sometimes we're our own harshest critic.
Both are wonderful
photographs and poetic
expressions ... Thank you ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Oh they are both great! I especially love the second one and its accompanying picture-I can just imagine that as clown hair!
These were fun - very clever!
I love how haiku can take us so many places in just three lines... I enjoyed both of these and the great images as well!
Great! The second one made me laugh! :) Thank you for sharing!
Great attempts both of them
As someone who has just spent time beside the sea and loves to knit, both of those really hit the spot for me. They are brilliant, thank you.
Love the comedy in clown hair and the sublime sail day.
Love your Haiku x 2...... and your knitting! I SMILED! The festival has been a fantastic experience, finding other folk who connect.
Loved them both! Humor is always a good thing and of course I love the ocean!
Have a wonderful trip.
Well done Willow, I've been so busy I didn't even get that far. I love the last one.
