pray that i may wake to jays, robins, and chicadees before the alarm
thanks for reminding me how much i love to wake and listen for a few minutes before the alram...as the sun begins to take my window...the birds take my dreams and offer a roll-the-credits song!
Celine, you are really tempting me to try my hand at some.. I had differnt opinions about haikus, but nw I think nothing like them fr instant gratification ! :)
This morning, on my way to work, I briefly stopped by the beach. I watched the clear blue sky, enjoyed the waves crashing the shore, watched birds flying, and I loved the breeze (though a bit too warm) on my face. I am at work now and smiling thinking of the warmth of another beautiful day!
Beautiful is right! Gorgeous poem. Thanks.

After a long cold and rainy week in Seattle, this haiku was a blessing to remind me that there is warmth and color.
ReplyDeleteA great way to meet the day.
ReplyDeleteLovely answer to the prompt. And the portrait/photo of the little girl below is so lovely and deeply touching.

ReplyDeleteThat was lovely and the pic a sight for sore eyes :)
ReplyDeleteThe sound of nature. So often missed (covered up) in the cities. I am lucky to get it too, although not in such dramatic settings.
ReplyDeleteLove the warmth of this!
ReplyDeleteI've been waking to the "meow" of catbirds.
ReplyDeletea great beginning to a new day..reminds me of Pippa's song

Indrani,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wish you a great week too.:)
Lavanya,
ReplyDelete5-7-5 syllables. Simple!!
If possible, do add a seasonal or nature word, but these days for modern Haiku even that is not necessary.;)
So, don't stop. To some it's also a stress buster. It's much fun. You'll love it. Start with it immediately. I shall be over to you shortly.:)
Sameera,
