HAIKU




I.


white caps pound the beach


storm warnings, snow never came


rolling to sea now.




II.


crocus popping up


unafraid to shine their light


unlike some people




III


fur person, little


one who gives so much love warms


my soul everyday.




Hope you enjoyed the artwork and the haiku. Come back again sometime soon. And have a wonderful weekend.




Hugs and namaste,




and






We love to have you post your comments, thoughts, or questions to delight us all in the day. ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog.

    For some reason I am reading meaning into your haiku today. I sense that you take it all as it comes, no matter what it is, and meet it head on. Your ready for Spring. Someone has you a bit miffed and you love your cat.
    How'd I do? So, I should keep my day job and not start that tarot practice I was thinking about?
    I like the flow of your haiku and the signs of crocus' reminding us it's March!

    Peace

    Great penguins!! (I love penguins...)
    Haikus always remind me how much we can say with very few words...
    I'm guessing the "little fur person" is your lovely little pooch? :-)
    Adorable... have a lovely weekend Carol! xoxo

    Love your penguins. They are delightful.

    And I especially enjoy your middle haiku. So many of us are afraid to shine their light. We need to be like the little crocus.

    Cheers!

    For some reason, I could not leave a comment last time you posted, but I am glad I can today. Love your penguins and your three stanzas of haiku. Do they call them stanzas in that genre? Hope your dog is well and helping you to keep your creative juices flowing.

    I love your penguin family, the adults so protective of their young. And the way the young are snuggled reminds me of how you would snuggle with your "fur" friend. Lovely haiku.
