The exercise:

Two haiku about: order.

The sun remained behind clouds for most of the day, but it was still quite warm. Kat and I managed to get a bit of yard work done, which was good because things were looking pretty rough after a winter of neglect.

Mine:

I like my order,
declared the warrior king,
with hints of chaos.

*     *     *

Birth, life, death, slumber,
then back to the beginning.
Seasons turn in time.

  1. How big is your yard then? From the pictures we've seen, I'd say it's too large to clean up in just one day. And before I forget (again) I did rather like the picture of blossom yesterday!
    I like your second haiku best today I think, it's more philosophical, which suits my mood this morning.

    Order
    "Do you want large fries
    With that?" she asks. I've only
    Ordered large fries though!

    Order is strongest
    When built on sound foundations
    Opposing itself.

  2. Haiku on order eh....

    Order

    The meeting begins
    We're sitting at attention
    Orderly children

    Inspired by todays day job meeting


    It's all in order
    Starting with one, ends at four
    Sead to a flower

    Inspired by the project my kids bring home from school.

  3. Within the order
    The hero Silver Surfer
    Saves the comic world

    Carefully arranged
    The five colors of Feng Shui
    Restore harmony

  4. Greg - not super big, but we didn't get it all done, either. Just a good start.

    Your first haiku made me laugh :D

    Cathryn - that sounds like two good sources of inspiration :)

    Krystin - lovely second haiku :)
