I Haiku, Do You Haiku?

2007 March 31
by sarah flanigan

In the spirit of the love I feel for each of you, I have written haikus for those of you whom I’ve missed previously. Hope you like them. They were written with love.
Sarah

Spaz:

nature girl delights
to see wild mama bird nest
on her patio

Evyl:

big handsome brute like
nobody you have ever
met in any life

Michael:

soft soul with good heart
defying the injustice
that life gave to them

Jennifer:

loving mother light
shines in her children’s sweet eyes
and makes the world good.

Lolly:

lovely red rose she
opens to the sun of life
and tickles our minds

Maureen:

kick ass mother earth
gives sage advice selflessly
and the laughs are free

Alison:

disappeared from view
her words haunt and linger still
come back to us please

Natural:

where’s the energy
pulsating and delightful
that we crave alone

Mark:

haiku master he
that gentle taps my mind’s edge
and takes no credit.

Kelly:

coffee fiend and friend
fiery passionate girl
so glad I know you.

    Thank you so much Sarah!
    Big hug your way.

    You mind me posting it in your name underneath the bird post?

    It just fits so nicely.
    Love it.
    Thanks for the heartwarming smile.

    of course i don’t mind if you post it under the bird post – go for it. i’m glad it gave you a smile.

    It just flew into my head, being reminded of Bob Dylan and my own hate of war, having seen it with my own eyes!

    No, I don’t. But since you won’t stop bugging me ( ;-) ):

    Creative Sarah,
    a gem within living earth
    reflecting sunshine.

    (I think this is how it’s supposed to be done, let me know, Master.)

    you dont, what? oh no, i think my short term memory is failing me again.

    what a wonderful haiku, i’m touched spaz, i really am. thank you darling girl.

    i’m not a master but i’d say you most definitely have the haiku gene. lovely.

    That’s very very sweet of you. I know I always treasure my one. Someone yesterday at work asked me what a haiku was and I just burst out smiling and read them mine.

    aw evan, i’m touched that you treasure yours and even share it with others. i never would have thought. so then you have a wee piece of me to have for all eternity then. ;)

    You are too sweet. I am blushing like a little schoolgirl. Well, to be honest, I am not really blushing but strangely I do feel like a little schoolgirl.

    well dear, i’m glad i could make you feel young again. ;)
