A quick haiku update

category: Writing
by Soph,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently - it’s been a busy week with all of my seminars starting at university, as well as lots of new music societies in the evenings. This blog will just be to put up my latest haiku from the HaikuWriMo, and I will write a proper entry when I have some time this week. Thanks for still visiting when I’m being inactive!

Day Eight:

old oak and I -
knotted bark
and wrinkled brow

Day Nine:

morning rain:
four ducks laughing
on the lawn

Day Ten:

October morning:
dewdrops slip
on spider strings

Day Eleven:

fire alarm at dawn:
dressing gowns float
in mist

Day Twelve:

autumn morning –
treetops disappear
in the mist

Day Thirteen:

a youngster plays
in the road –
grey squirrel

Day Fourteen:

falling shapes at my window:
bomber magpies

Day Fifteen:

foxes at midnight
scream
like children

<< WriMo update and university work

So much work and so little time >>

Great work. I loved days 8 and 10 the best.

Good work with the poetry, keep it up! 8 is my favourite thusfar. But they’re all good too. 11 is something to empathise with for sure.
