What a joy to see new websites bloom for my beloved haiku. Just today I ran into a new weekly haiku-meme at Haiku Horizons. This week the prompt is ”return” and it inspired me to write the following haiku:
return to innocence
a life halfway past –
the scent of roses
Isn’t it a beauty? Yes it is, but that very immodest to say of your own haiku. So … let me know what you think about it. Haiku is ”my art” for more than 25 years now and I like composing them as always. Thank you for giving the opportunity to share this wonderful form of poetry with the world.
Namaste
