Redwood Haiku

Today I had the opportunity to look at some AMAZING scenery in nature, as well as another spectacular sunset! Suddenly, I felt a sense of deja vu...this reminded me of my visit to the Muir Woods, with nature surrounding me from all sides! My favorite trees in the Muir Woods are redwoods, because of their majestic height that resonates with me deeply (I'm really tall lol). So, with that inspiration, I created this poem for my second haiku!

Redwoods

The redwood dances

Swaying to the rhythm

of the twisting wind

What do you think? +1 if you like it, and as I said earlier, comment your own haiku and I'll post a hall of fame of poems at the end of the week!

Haiku Fun!

Hi guys! Late, again, wow! I'm getting so busy nowadays, catching up to things now that winter break is almost over! Anyway, we were taking a drive this morning, and it was cold, sunny, and windy at the same time. This beautiful and unique weather inspired me to write a quick poem that I wanted to share with you all. I'll try to write a poem every day for the next couple days and share it with you!

I love reading poems in general - they are such a symbolic and special way to convey a feeling that seems indescribable. A haiku, by definition is "one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables" (www.toyomasu.com). These short and sweet poems are traditionally written about nature. 

My poem is entitled simply, "Wind". Please +1 if you like it, or comment with your own haikus! I would love to read them all and post my favorites at the end of our poetry fun

Grass shivers in wind

Cool air whistling through ears

of all seeking peace
