Hi Weegie,

You have the feel of Haiku down beautifully.

The rules of Haiku are simple;

a poem of three phrases,

phrase one contains 5 syllables,

phrase two contains 7 syllables,

phrase three contains 5 syllables.

 

so, make a haiku

from your sweet poem written

it might look like this

 

 thinking of you too  (5 syllables)

 not sure how to do haiku (7 syllables)

    did I do this one ?  (5 syllables)

 

glad our haiku friends

continue a tradition 

in new smoke free home.

Today's her birthday

She is seventy-nine now

Don't take her today

Hugs for our Jillar

Remember her love and her spark

Hold them in this dark????

Feeling really sad

for J's and other's moms, dads

mortality sucks

 

Basho has helped me

through days fraught or kind.

careful lovely words

 

Basho's Death Poem

evocative and so sad

here it is, below

 

"Sick on my journey

only my dreams will wander

these lonely moors"

 

(Matsuo Basho (1644–1694)

Mom is still with us

the thoughts and prayers are helping

Thank you all so much................

 

[Pearlie]

Prayers for your mother

 

And you too Jillar, be strong

 

Wishing you both peace...

[WeegieWoman]

You mom is sure strong

That must be where you get it

God bless the bunnies 

[jillar]

My mom is awake!

Her prognosis looking up

It's a miracle!

 

(It's been 11 days of touch and go but her waking up finally has given the drs, and us, hope that she can recover. I can't begin to thank you all for the prayers and positive thoughts)

[WeegieWoman]

That is amazing

Your mom is made of tough stuff

I wish you all well

 

[Sazerac]

A balm for my ears,
there couldn't be better news.
Hurry !  Get well soon.
 

[WeegieWoman]

The cottage awaits

And so does father inlaw

I better take wine
