What is it about Haiku that draws you?
I love the fact that it encourages me to get reacquainted with words,
to encapsulate ideas in only a few syllables. How about you?

This week's theme: Harmonics
Click on blank box to see clip
Whale song echoing
Vibrations throughout the water
An eerie beauty.
Harmonica hums
Playing against breathy lips
A zithering sound.
An oscillation
Some musical overtones
melodious waves
Tuneful harmony
Exquisite dexterity
That strikes the right chord.
It's a haiku rap
I'm a versatile blogger
Harmonics my thang!
You're very good at these! I haven't tried one in years... I especially like the rapper one ;-)
ReplyDeleteI tried writing a few Haiku when I was doing my OU - they are so much harder than you think. Yours are FAB! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, I love all of them! I've just choked on my tea looking at the harmonica graphic!

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day,

ReplyDeleteSo glad you all enjoyed the entertainment. I enjoyed writing them once I got going, I almost couldn't stop! :O)
ReplyDeleteEncapsulate, I like that word. A little too much probably . . . encapsulate, encapsulate, encapsulate. It has a nice sound.
ReplyDeleteI don't write this style of poetry but yours are wonderful. Love the squirrel.
