“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?” ― Emily Dickinson, Selected Letters-

These two Haiku bring a smile to my face.
Yousie, I love your new bunnies! I also like the senses that your Haiku invoke.
Raven,
Thank you. It was time for a background change. You can see the whole image here. Almost done with February. Enjoyed it?
Three absolute delights. These are haiku as they should be – in my humble opinion!
David King,
Thank you. I’m flattered and happy I can share them with you.
Like this array of verses.
slpmartin,
Hard to write using x-words and it feel forced. Well, it is forced, but still …. Glad you came by to read and comment anyway. 😉
A wonderful collection of haiku.
Victoria,
Thank you. I’ve really enjoyed writing them this month. Shows me how much I need writing. Thank you for letting me share them with you.
‘ku’ — we can refer to them as ku? I love it. And I like your comment to me that these stand as single flowers and you name the flowers, tulip, daffodil, and crocus. In itself the comment becomes poem.
margo,
I’m not sure. I’ve seen it a lot, but haven’t looked for it’s origin and authenticity. I’m more a go with the flow on that kind of thing, unless of course it meant something horrible in Japanese. Surely someone would have caught that by now. I’m eager for spring, thus the specific flower references. My daffodils are already shooting up, now with a blanket of snow. Each poem has a different feel, right? I’m not sure they were well matched to their respective flowers, since I was think of spring early bloomers. Maybe hyacinth should have been one. 😉 Thanks for dropping in and sparking more thought.
Like the ku…like the images too!
sanjuktaa,
Thanks. 🙂
