Still Life
crow flying over
pauses to inspect me
I’m not dead yet!
Teasing
bright blooms on scarecrow’s
new Hawaiian-print shirt
teasing the honey bees

The Long Way
full moonlight
plays on the headstones
we take the long way
not that we’re superstitious
just want exercise

Haiku Challenge
First of all I’d like to say thank you to everyone who’s been following this blog, and welcome those who have just started. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, but I’ve been learning more about writing haiku in the interval. I hope you’ll enjoy the verse I’m going to be posting in the coming days.
I’ll start off with a writing challenge and welcome your responses.
If I have it right, the forerunner of modern day haiku, hokku or haikai, was sometimes given as a writing challenge or even used as a party game. Someone would supply the first two lines and another poet would come up with the last line to complete the verse.
So here are my first two lines:
the neighbours’ hummers
at our feeder…
Here are two possible endings. Which do you like better?
Or how would you finish this verse?
1.
the neighbours’ hummers
at our feeder
won’t share
2.
the neighbours’ hummers
at our feeder
what humanity!
