Haiku Definition


This week's theme: Definition sorry it should have been FORTITUDE, but I misread it in my tired stoopor!

E
ach definition
Depends on one's continent
What does it all mean?



Clear definitions
Reduce ambiguity
Clarity prevails

A series of lines
Defines us from each other
Making us unique


Line definition
A precise stroke of nature
Running through our flesh

Four of us met up for lunch yesterday
Can you guess which 4 bloggers are in the picture?
Okay so it's Tony Benson of Fireside Park, Margo Benson , Me and Ellie Garratt

  1. I love reading your haikus. The second one is my favourite today, I think.

    I won't cheat and guess the bloggers as I've already seen that picture elsewhere. It sounded like fun though :)

  2. Great haiku - hate to be the bearer of bad news but the prompt is fortitude. Definition is there as a dictionary link for fortitude. Either way I enjoyed reading your haikus.

  3. I like all of these - you're so good at coming up with great variations on the themes. I particularly like 'A precise stroke of nature'

    A talented, good-looking bunch, eh? :-)

  5. I agree with Sarah - the second one is my favourite.

    After reading the comments, I think I can guess a couple of names and you're one of them aren't you?

  8. Oh, no. Not a picture of me. Actually, it was a fabulous day and I've already printed a copy of the one you sent me. I shall put it on the wall by my writing desk to motivate me.

    Loved your Haikus!

  15. Great haikus! I think I will have to go with the second one as my favorite. It's so concise and true!

  16. Heehee, sorry I didn't make it clearer for you. I love what you came up with though!

    Fantastic that you got to meet up with other bloggers - I've only met one other in person so far, when she came to visit from Scotland. I hope to meet many more in years to come.
