Haiku My Heart–Haiku Love !

IMG_0614

I love you, Haiku.

Five, seven, five wordy treat.

Sweet playmate of mine.

 

*********************

You probably know that I love haiku.

There is something about its simplicity and how I can write one in a short amount of time, (unlike with other poetry !) that truly appeals.

Maybe it is its form as well, that balance of 5-7-5 syllables, that appeals to the Libra in me…

Whatever, it is a creative word play that I adore !

When I was in Cape Cod recently, my dear friend, Linda, shared a writing game with our group of Artsy ladies.

It was called Haikubes Haiku Dice.

You play around with the dice and create haiku based on the words on them.

Here’s the haiku that the dice gave me and that I recorded in my journal :

Moonlight eats fortune.

She tried to cover, wise one,

its livid torture.

Bizarre ? Yes ! Its meaning ? I have no idea !!!

But it did inspire a piece of art in my little journal this morning !

Not only do I love haiku for its playful form and how it inspires my art and vice versa,

but I love haiku

for the wonderful group of hearts that it connects me to each Friday.

Haiku My Heart Friday

That is a sweet treat in itself !

Happy Friday, Beautiful Ones !

Haiku rocks! Couldn't help myself...love your stone.

I'm not inspired to create Haiku but I've never been inspired to write any form of poetry...I'm not sure why that is. The last line of the haiku you had about torture...that's sounding mighty grim!!! ;)

Art inspires my haiku. For you, it's the other way around. So...and endless circle of art/haiku/art...

Delicious wordy treat! Low-calorie, yet flavorful. Lush, yet low-fat. Healthy, yet oddly satisfying.

Have a fun weekend! (I have a feeling you will - you seem like a fun person!)

I LOVE your 'found haiku'... I like this way of 'finding poems' and how it inspires us all to think outside the box, weaving stories that would not come to mind if it wasn't for the strange word combinations. Your art journal page is wonderful and 'dreamy'... enjoy your weekend soulsis!

It shows that you love haiku and what a great idea with the cube,s. Your variations in blue are delightful.

I bet a Buddhist monk could tell you what that haiku means...it's just too deep for my pea-brain, lol.
The art spread is gorgeous tho, and I see moonlight eating fortune :)
♥♥♥ Happy weekend Sweetie!!!
