POEM STARTER

Write a series of haikus about the view from your window.

Haikus have a 3-line syllabic structure of 5-7-5. Perhaps your haikus can form a series of changing time, seasons, or different aspects of the view.

A Summer Day

Poetry

The sun is rising High above the rolling hills And reaching to me Flowers sway in breeze They dance with the willow tree Delicate and true The sky is painted A vibrant and lovely blue And dotted with clouds Bumble bees bustle Franticly scattered in crowds Like a busy town My window lets me See past my problems and look At the summer day

I love this! In that last stanza though, is there any chance you meant past and not passed

There is promise of better days you see, so let your battered heart be free. 14, she/her, lover of poetry, music, and hugs. Please know that you are perfectly imperfect, and deeply loved. More than you could ever know.
