Haiku #1 {Poetry Friday}

rhythmic back and forth
natural flashy Spring bursts
bouncing between clouds


Today is the last Friday of school and I'm thinking about my summer plans and things I want to rekindle, writing being one of them.  Another, is taking a few moments daily to focus and notice things around me.  I think focus, notice, my notebook, and haikus are part of my summer plans.

Poetry Friday this week is being hosted by Kiesha at Whispers from the Ridge.

  4. I so love how poems can conjure up different images from reader to reader. We had quite the storm last night in the Boston area -- thunder, lightening, heavy rain and wind -- following two days of 90+ heat. (today was day 3, so officially a heat wave already!) When I first read your poem, memories of last night's storm came back -- "flashy spring bursts." Upon reading again, I see other meaning and images. -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/blog/

  8. Ahh...time for the notebook, for noticing, for writing and sketching and painting and gardening and reading (of course, reading)...
