2021KU - The YEAR in HAIKU

2021KU - The YEAR in HAIKU

I took an online Haiku class from my cousin Lorrie Tom in early January. The class was designed to write a Haiku of intentions for the coming year. The design below is the graphic image I created to illustrate my haiku.

And then....just keep writing, inspired by the changing moon each month, events in our inner world, community, and globe, and life! Certainly not one every day (as in last year's Daykus) but as the spirit moves me!

PRIORITY CHECK
Review intentions
Walk prayer path - pursue practice
Of love in action

As part of our 2021Ku Online class, we were asked to write a quick haiku about something right in view. I had this old picture I drew of the house in Laguna Beach.

Also part of the initial quick haiku was this one I did of the creche sitting on my studio window sill.

My cousin Lorrie jokingly wrote on a post that a roll of tape had fallen on the floor...maybe she should write a haiku about it. So I did and sent it to her!

Fresh snowfall flocked our Christmas tree on the deer fence corner and lent a stillness to the dormant garden.

Another wet snow covered the Christmas tree sitting on the corner of the garden. When I took this picture, some of the flocking had already melted off.

After a day of constant changing weather - sunshine and blue sky then driving snowstorm - themoon rose just as the sky was darkening as a deep orange orb, the remnants of a few clouds striping the surface like a planet.

I planted these Mexican sunflower seeds early in the summer and with the drought it has taken a LONG time to see results!

Twice this hummingbird visited the nasturtiums while I was just a few feet away....without my camera of course! He fluttered deep inside the bush as he sought every blossom, making the whole bush seem to shiver!
