We had so much fun learnig about Haiku in Poetry class in high school. I loved playing with those few words (and I am not a person of few words!!) to say something eloquently.
I can relate to your Haiku very much so. Thank you Helen!
Hi Helen~ Thank you for the kind comment on my blog. I am down to 3 days a week at my job and only work 5 hrs. per day. Thank goodness it hasn't affected my crafting ability or I'd probably lose my mind:) I've never heard of haiku, sounds interesting! Hope you have a lovely day:)
Oh, Helen...love your Haiku...it fits my post today! :-) Yep, Miss Joy has seen the mural and even played Nintendo in that room many a time! Wonder if she'll shoot me for telling that. (Hee, Hee) :-)
I'm dreaming of my life between the ages of 20 and 23. I repeated the dream at ages 36 and 39. 36 was a little tough because I was financially restrained. First year at 36 my '62 VW even stranded me in Wharton, Texas. Very humiliating getting it towed back home where I could fix it (the engine sucked up a valve which ruined a piston. I replaced them myself.). I soon replaced the VW with a TBird and a medium sized Honda road bike. I had longer hair but a good job at NASA. Both times I was harassed some by the police. Remember that 'young lives' matter also, they still lead a hard life, ask my daughter when she was single. ..
A Haiku lovely enough to last until September. My daughter wrote that they planned to go to Bend for the fireworks. I wanted to say "Say hello to Helen!"
S glad you joined in.
ReplyDeleteA wistful thought beautifully expressed.

ReplyDeletehop to it bunny
ReplyDeletealone on a linen top
the rabbit he's yours
so ... that's how you say 'you won the bunny brooch in haiku. email me a postal address and he'll be hopping off to you (he doesn't rhyme though!)
That is a try? My goodness, it is beautifully stated and I love the simplistic truth of it. I say you do this more often!
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great Haiku. It seems incredible that it's your first! Well done, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, As you I'm fond of haikus and read and write these small poems (in french) for a long time now. I love Basho, Buson, Issa, Soseki....
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. I wrote poetry for years - but mine were more story poems ..lots about my Fathers patients and life experiences that touched me.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! When everything seemed simple, oh yes.
ReplyDeleteOh, Helen...love your Haiku...it fits my post today! :-) Yep, Miss Joy has seen the mural and even played Nintendo in that room many a time! Wonder if she'll shoot me for telling that. (Hee, Hee) :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this Helen..a wonderful poem, xv.
ReplyDeleteWhen was that???
ReplyDeleteThis is your first ever haiku? We should celebrate!
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xoxoxxo
I'm closing my eyes, and dreaming of young mango leaves and Saturday mornings in the river... Yum.

ReplyDelete..
Oh this makes me sad to see Dave King's name there. Time is flying so quickly. Nice to see you in print again. Happy Birthday !:)
ReplyDeleteSad sad times...
ReplyDeleteA Haiku lovely enough to last until September. My daughter wrote that they planned to go to Bend for the fireworks. I wanted to say "Say hello to Helen!"
ReplyDeleteMay we embark upon those times again!!💝
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think that life was simpler "way back when," but other times, I wonder...
ReplyDeleteLovely! Enjoy your break (you'll be missed).
ReplyDeleteNothing stays the same and the older we get the less we like change.
ReplyDeleteEver is in the word never!
ReplyDeleteYup that's me. always longing for the good ol' days.
