I've had a great few weeks getting involved with a Haiku group over on Google Plus.
I watched and waited for a while, then thought "hey, I may as well plunge in and see what happens." Well, what happened was, I wrote some haiku! It's been a while and this was a great way to get me thinking creatively again, paying attention to the small things and taking my time.
I was pleased to take part in the second of a now-ongoing series of linked poetry collaborations. In a given order we were each to write a haiku using the last line of the previous poem as our first.
This was the result of Haiku Tea II:
life has scattered seeds
waits for the memories to
grow into longing Shashi
grow into longing
to relive past victories
to feel youth's passion Bob Hartwig
to feel youth's passion
to bring back things lost, many
many like flowers Craig Volney
many like flowers
tap muddy feet, delighting
one crimson petal Carolyn St Charles
one crimson petal
open wide, drink up the sun
now, tis time for fun Jamer Nicolls
now, tis time for fun
and profound reflections with
tender threnodies... Berteena Gaines
tender threnodies --
life's strewn seeds yielded thorns
will hope succumb? Gracy Dsouza
will hope succumb?

thoughts so haunting

my soul searches for love, peace
