The exercise:
I'm feeling a bit tired tonight and I have other writing I'd like to get to, so we're going to write some haiku. What shall the topic be, I hear you asking.
It shall be: unanswered.
Mine:
Why is my question
So difficult to answer?
It is hard to say.

Why did you do that?

The baby just smiles.
Ah, haiku. I like your second haiku slightly better than your first; it definitely accords with babies I've known.

You ask your questions
And listen to the echoes
No-one answers you

A stranger curses
Your house in summer's warm rain
No answer will do
I like my second one better as well. The first one was a warm-up... or something.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which of yours I like best. They both have a very authentic haiku feel to them.
