Haiku
A Japanese poem. A contracted form of haikai no ku ‘light verse’. It has seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
After some head scratching, nail biting and pondering I decided to scribble some poetry and show it to the cyber world. So here are my three haiku and motherhood inspired poems.
Dummy in my shoe
Far away, a baby cries
Pink cherry blossom
Child’s hand in mine
Two shadows on the pavement
Seven seagulls shriek
Water splish-splash
Evening bath – silver laugh
Cross car horn outside
