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.
