Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #48


Today we join Two  SPOILED CAT 
Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.


Today I'm attempting Haiku...




"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme

Seeing
by TOGM

From atop the hill
she could see ahead for miles.
Does she really see?

Searching
by TOGM 

From atop the mound
She searches for what she wants
But can it be found?

  3. Very nice! I am befuddled by trying Haiku, my brain cells become frazzled. Congratulations at your attempt, I think for sure you are successful. Both Haiku poems are perceptive.

  5. I like both of these, and when I first saw the photo I thought it was a post in the middle. I think I need to get my eyes checked

    Oh my word C - these are magnificent efforts! The first is the strongest, structurally and with the query. If I may, had the same been applied in the second it would equal the first... "but can it be found?" - are you familiar with Carpe Diem blog? I think you would flourish from reading and sharing there!!! With these lines, Cecilia alone shines and claims this blog fully as her own... blessings and Love. YAM xx

    1. YaYa thank you for that most delightful compliment.

      OMword...It was my first attempt. LOL I actually had to google what exactly what Haiku meant. I wrote the first one straight out of the 'shoot' last week. The second one yesterday. YOUR suggestion on the last line was perfect and it has been changed.

      Hugs HiC

    2. ...It was sincerely meant! In case anyone else finds, as you did, that my link to Carpe Diem looks empty - just click the HOME button centre page of that screen... Yxx
