The theme for Day 18′s celebrating National Poetry Month is “WRITING.” Click HERE for details of this haiku celebration of throughout the month of April.
Though this haiku seems to indicate I blame my writer’s block on “the sound of silence,” I can’t blame my characters. I’m sure they’ve been chattering away, but I haven’t been listening. I hope they don’t give up on me.
A story’s born when
I chat with my characters
the sound of silence

Five, seven, and five
So simple, yet still so hard
What to write about
Robert, sometimes writing haiku gets me out of writer’s block on other projects. It’s like a puzzle.
I use a scratch pad
whenever my pen itches–
it always itches
This made me smile, Jim. Love it!
I still write yet again
and again
silence in heaven
I also feel heaven when my characters’ voices fill my head. 🙂
beauty, a cool breeze
tree leaves, tuff of cat hair floats
what can I say?
Your haiku has a dreamy quality that I like, Steve. 🙂
