RE: A Handful of Haiku to Greet the Day

in #poetry6 years ago

Enjoyed this light, but nutritious breakfast (yes, I've food on the mind this morn :)

The meta of Frozen Moments' "three short breaths", and the lovely yearning of Constructing Freedom. "Scaffolding" is good; "Longing for bird-weather" is a beaut. Thank you, for these, Guy _/|\_

Sort:  

I wanted to ask if one does not always have food on the mind in the morning? Then remembered that it was about the time Ramadan started, so that makes it even more apt.

Somehow haiku always puts me in mind of meta, must be because of how strict it is in its rules, though of recent, after talking with @dbooster you can see that I'm no longer strictly following the rules, except where it follows my goal, as a meta-comment.

Here is another ars poetic haiku I wrote in 2007.

While your flowers fall,
my own mind is mesmerised,
alliteration.

And glad you liked these! I knew I had to finish the collection with Constructing Freedom, because that last line is my favourite too. I know you shouldn't have favourites among your children, but sometimes you can't help it ;-)
