My friend and writing companion, Sheri Eichhorn, and I have a lot of fun writing haikus for just about any word. Haiku is a writing pattern of 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Here are a few summer time haikus…I wrote a few and so did Sheri.
Shade from the hot sun Wonderfully delicious and very welcomed. (VB)
Sparkles in the night There is magic in the air Twinkling fireflies. (VB)
Fireflies at night Blinking in the forest glen It is enchanting.(VB)
Bicycles ask us to be both the passenger and provide the fuel. (SE)
Two wheels on a frame Around and around they go Bicycles are fun.(VB)
Bicycles never run out of fuel until you climb off the bike. (SE)
And since this is the summer of the pandemic, a few haikus about that…
Pandemic. That word... it hurts to hear it, it hurts to know—it lives here. (SE)
Global pandemic Novel coronavirus Took us by surprise.(VB)
The distance we’ve come from normal with this virus feels too much too far. (SE)
What a fun exercise. Thank you both for sharing your work.
Glad you enjoyed our play with words.
Very thoughtfully written and so timely. I also love the pictures you have included. As a card maker, the one you received looks like it took a lot of time!
Thanks Shirley.
Yes, the bicycle card was a very unique and lovely birthday card.
Oh, Valerie, what lovely photos you chose to share our haikus on your blog. I hope everyone enjoys the thoughts–we get such pleasure writing them. Each month we each pick three words, and so we write six haikus (at least) each month using those words. Sometimes it can be challenging, but always it is fun!
Glad you like the photos.
I agree, our writing assignments can be challenging but it is always fun.
