Hello!
Wednesday, 4/21
I am taking a class at the Griffin on the subject of poetry and photography. I think that the course was looking for me and I was looking for the course, so this is a great shidduch.
Last night the instructor talked about Haikus. I would love to do a page on Haikus, but the deal is, that I want your Haikus to go along with mine. I am going to play with Haikus for a few minutes, publish this page and hope and pray (please, please, please!!!!) that someone, or a few someones, sends me a Haiku so that I can add it to this page along with mine.
I haven't done this in years....I don't know what to expect. Here goes....

OK, I am going to start the Haiku game now but for those of you who are participating (again, please, please, please!) here are the rules.
A Haiku is composed of:
A line with 5 syllables
A line with 7 syllables
A line with 5 syllables
Or maybe you can try
A line with 3 syllables
A line with 5 syllables
A line with 3 syllables
Or
A line with 3 syllables
A line with 1 syllable
A line with 3 syllables
Here are a few topics you might consider for this game:
your hat, your shoes, your breakfast, mud, flowers, plants, your dog, your phone, your eyelashes, shabbat, a walk, birds, rain, sleep, a nap, being mad, smiling, your wallet, texts, the internet, sweaters, your fingers, rocks, clouds, conflict, chocolate, ice cream, torah, early morning
Don't give up now!
Here we go....Don't think too hard....You can do this!
Here are few that I wrote just now...Again, I am not overthinking this.
The Desk
Solo at a desk
Cold raindrops fall from above
Splash on cold fingers
Share my Wings
Share my angel wings
Fly with me over the roofs
Hold tight, don't let go
The Shower
Sing a catchy tune
A song inside a bubble
Melody rises
Voices
La, la, lee, loo, lay
Some are flat, some are in tune
Songs in harmony
Cookies
Crunch me, smack your lips
Crumbs on your nose, cheeks, chin
Oreo Cookies
OK, now it is your turn. I hope to add some of your Haikus here.
Thank you!!!!
Leann
