Well the best part about being late to the party of March 1st on the West coast is I get to be first on the block party of March 2nd.
Covid brought me a wonderful poetry Zoom opportunity with friends from my church – many are published poets and I love learning from them every Monday that we meet. This is my little haiku from tonight from a photo prompt:
Two on a hill we
were. Holding tight to a string,
nothing else to lose.
wake up and write

I love poetry and the purposeful use of words. You captured the image beautifully. I particularly liked the way you divided WE and WERE. I look forward to more early morning poetry.

I love that photo and the way you’ve captured it in a haiku. A poetry Zoom class sounds wonderful.

Ah, so lovely … Haiku can be the perfect poetry form for some moments, like these …
A riff off your poem:
Hold tight to the string,
as the world sings, in a key
of people, not things

I can imagine the joy. Last spring I had poetry breakfast party with my students on Google Meet and it was a super joyful event. Thank you for sharing the haiku.

As always your words and pictures complement each other so well.’Nuff said.

LOVE the photo with your haiku! My favorite line is, “nothing else to lose”. It sounds like a line I might start a piece with…can lead to so many possibilities.
I think I might need to consider adding more poetry into my life – your community of writers sounds awesome.

The kite in the sky reminded me of a book I just read.
Virgil Wander by Leif Enger
Kites play a major part.
