I've enough bad haiku to feel the same way, Shay. Fortunately, I have met some amazing poets who do this form justice. I do what I can. Thank you, gurlfriend.
smiles...sometimes there has to be a breaking for the seeds to find light to grow you know....i like that there is a grin in the end as well...you dont always get that in the breaking...or realize it til after
I am spellbound at the use of this fruit in this form of poetry. When I was a kid, I'd beak them open and eat the erils, these days, it's better to buy the juice. Of course the 'sticky dye stains grins' were more like 'Oh crap! cringes' when was wearing a white shirt! Good take on the prompt La Tonya!
Thanks Shawn, the truth is I've been reading and writing haiku on and off for years. I love the form and appreciate the poets who do it well even more.
Hi Glynis, I almost always write a piece first and later find an image unless of course, it's a writing prompt and we're given a picture. Welcome to Black and Gray.
I love the idea of busting a dream wide open and relishing the potential in it-not packing it carefully away out of fear of what might or might not happen.
Your first line is captivating...great image. I didn't research but assume pomegranates go with autumn? I don't know. Love the fresh scent of them. Wonderful haiku.
Good to see you hère at Carpe Diem LaTonya and with a truly wonderfully composed haiku ... pomegranates sliced open just like dreams do when you awake. A little gem ... I hope to see you here again.
Kristjann, I love what you do at your site even though I don't participate often. I look forward to changing that. And thank you. Glad you enjoy my offering. Your commitment and posts inspire me to try harder, to respect the essence and form.
I'm not a fan of this form, but this one is just pretty cool.
