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.
Willow, I love them both....and the last one made my chuckle.

ReplyDeleteThey're great -- I must admit a preference for the latter, if only because it tickled my funny bone in just the right way :)

The clown hair really made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteHusbands have a gift for saying the exact/wrong/right thing.....
the boat one was peaceful and lovely too.

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!

ReplyDeleteI love how haiku can take us so many places in just three lines... I enjoyed both of these and the great images as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat! The second one made me laugh! :) Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteAs 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.
ReplyDeleteLove the comedy in clown hair and the sublime sail day.
ReplyDeleteLove your Haiku x 2...... and your knitting! I SMILED! The festival has been a fantastic experience, finding other folk who connect.
