about haiku (2)

Posted on Categories Poetry

Writing about ‘writing haiku’ captured my imagination.  I woke up scribbling yesterday morning:

poems float

in the breeze

haiku-dusted sky

♦

from hill to valley

rushing waters

cleansing tears

♦

a word plops

on a silent pond

haiku ripple

♦

This is my second response to Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu Special #1 “The Poet’s Craft”. In this Carpe Diem Haiku Kai episode, guest writer, Kim Russell, invites us to write haiku about writing haiku.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

      1. Thank You Janice. I certainly have a great appreciation for Haiku. (@–>–)

        Does this mean that I too am managing Mr. Ginsberg’s idea/ideal of American Sentences?

      2. Well I don’t know enough about Ginsberg to pull him in but if I was nominating people for a Creative Haiku Blogger award you would be on the list and if Ginsberg didn’t agree he would be off the list 😉

      3. Oh. Thank You so very much for your generous words and encouragement, Janice. I do find myself smiling whenever Writing, especially trying my hand and creativeness at something New.

        I can certainly say with 100% that your Haiku/American Sentences are so Awesomely Brilliant! (@–>–) (@–>–)
