lush rich vibrant greens
Spring transitions to Summer
possibilities
I had another plan for Haiku #4 and was going to use my list of words from last week and think differently. However, I explored a fairly new Metro Park in our area tonight and found myself collecting words as I was running. Then I was stringing words together and counting syllables. I was a bit surprised to find myself "writing" while running. Maybe that list of words will be revisited when I get stuck one week. As I was writing, I really wanted to capture the big feeling I felt while exploring this park and when it came down to one word I recounted the syllables many times to make sure it was five. I always think of haiku as a string of words but discovered it doesn't have to be.
Thank you Mary Lee at A Year of Reading for hosting Poetry Friday this week.
Oh! I think this is your best so far! I love how the last word can stand alone, or be connected to Summer.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful to discover a new park, and yes, "possibilities".
ReplyDeleteI find there's nothing quite like time spent in nature to inspire my poetic feelings - it's like there's poetry hidden in the leaves. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you love when the words just run together to form a poem unexpectedly? Love that you discovered a new park and new words to create this poem.
ReplyDeleteThere is never a time when I'm not writing. Even sleeping, I find myself lacing together dreams. I like your collections of words. So very writerly.
ReplyDeleteLuscious way to end: possibilities!
