The spring day
lingers
in the pools
No rhyme, just flow. 5, 7, 5. Typically addressing a season, a reference to time in nature. Perhaps it was the beginning, that poetry class, of me and words. I'd rather write a letter than speak on the phone. With pen in hand I internalise and although there are times when it creates frustration...there is more joy than anger.lingers

haiku by Issa
Found in "today and today"
Since Year 4 poetry class I have always loved haiku. The simple rhythm three lines can create.

I calm when I watch the smooth, lyrical line of pen on paper.
You may calm with a needle and thread
Paintbrush and watercolour
Rolling pin and dough
Hammer and nail.

What is your daily meditation? What do you enjoy?
That's so beautiful Jodi.
ReplyDeleteI think my meditation is the needle and thread ... but sadly not daily :)
I would have to say drawing with pencil on paper but sadly that is not daily either.
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds mundane but I try to do a dishes meditation. Concentrate on how clean I'm getting the plates, standing straight, pretty bubbles..sometimes it works and at least it's daily.
ReplyDeleteJodi I have an award for you over at my place...
Hmm, I think making tea. The whole process of boiling the water, steeping the tea and taking the time to sit and drink. So enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI love a cup of tea and to watch the wind in the trees from my front verandah.
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to every word you just wrote...very me...though the needle and thread, paintbrush and the rich earth of my garden can provide the same. Lovely post.
