All that glisters is
generally gold, but is its
glory what we need?
people shine in our
hearts, more permanent, more true,
but so transient
It’s time for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge, where today the prompt is ‘gold’. That precious metal s something many hanker after, but what does it truly give us, in the end?
Please do take part – it’s fun!
man’s sharp blade, weapon
of war, is turned to beauty
and his art unfolds
like gossamer threads
family lines are displayed
blank sheet reveals all
Phew! I was worried that TJ had met an unfortunate event – and in a way he had, with the computer gremlins temporarily winning their war on human technological connectivity – otherwise known as computer problems.
Thankfully, he is back with another delicious haiku prompt and some education on Mon Kiri, the art of Japanese paper folding and cutting, and the display of family crests (Mon) on tradition male kimono.
As is usual, I have written two haiku – one never seems quite enough! I hope you enjoy them and please, do pop over to the lovely TJ’s blog to enjoy more!
He says she is his
exact mirror; a perfect
pair. She disagrees.
He is blind to their
discordance, refuses
to bear true witness.
It’s time for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge, and this week, our prompt from the lovely TJ is ‘symmetry’. I tend to write two haiku (haikus?), but really you only need to write one -so why not give it a try?
