I have a lot of music events on the near horizon, including some challenging solos to master. I guess I have a limited amount of creativity, since it seems to always be music or writing, not both.
Here's a haiku I wrote for Carpe Diem back in 2014. There were strict requirements, as per classic haiku. I've written a lot of bad ones, and even worse - haiku shaped word clusters, but this one came out well, I think.
on the silken strands
sad fly plays a minor chord

It has 5-7-5 structure, a summer kigo, 1st-3rd line interchangeability, and phrase and fragment structure - an English language adaptation of the cutting word. There might also be a deeper meaning, which I'll leave for you to ponder, if you so chose.
Happy Thanksgiving, all. He will be spending the day with my kids and their kids.
Love it... and think I might have been around when you wrote it first at Carpe Diem
ReplyDeleteYes. You commented you liked it better 3rd line first.

Love how it engages so many senses. I'm taken by the softness of the silk, the depth of the music, and that final bit of joy... Just yummy.
