WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY!
This week’s form is: Haiku.
I have decided to write three Haiku, using the three forms I know, 5/7/5, 3/5/3 and 3/2/3.
I suffer from Raynaud’s disease it was undiganosed as a child so winter is full of cold memories. I also took the music of Tori Amos as an inspiration.
I missed last week’s due to my eyes but it’s not going away over night so I am pushing forward in to this new year happy to be in such great company.
in early winter
the earth stands frozen in time
hibernation’s key.
*****
Memories
Of winter that’s past
Dreaming time
*****
Winter
Solid earth
Waiting.

Never a good idea, not for anyone!

No indeed 💜

Beautiful and timely. We are frozen in time here 12f, -11c.

Burr that’s really cold 💜💜
Jan 11, 2022 @ 12:05:58
And we have a stiff wind that makes it feel about 20° colder
Jan 11, 2022 @ 13:38:04
Even worse I hate the wind chill factor 💜

Three very wintry Haiku Willow, and I do prefer 5,7,5. haiku format, and your one here is vividly cold … brrr ..❄
Jan 11, 2022 @ 11:23:05
Yes the traditional one is my favourite too 💜

Lovely, Willow, beautiful winter depictions. It’s lovely to see one of Sue’s beautiful pictures here. I hope your eyes improve quickly.

Thank you Robbie so do I. It’s a lovely photo from Sue 💜💜

These are so lovely, Willow. And thank you for teaching me about Raynaud’s disease – I hadn’t heard of it before.

I am glad you enjoyed the Haiku David. Raynaud’s is a nuisance but manageable.💜

Excellent haiku, Willow. I know about Raynard’s disease. It’s not fun, that’s for sure. I hope your eyes get better. I’ve had problems with my eyes recently, as well. I’m not on antibiotic drops and they help with the inflammation. It’s nice to see a bit of Sue in your poetry. Huge hugs to you. ❤
Jan 11, 2022 @ 22:57:40
Hugs back to you too. I hope the drops work quickly and well for you Colleen. I am used to the Raynards I have had it all my life now! 💜

Beautiful Haiku. I had to look up your illness, I hadn’t heard if it. I wish you good health
Jan 11, 2022 @ 22:48:04
Thank you, and I wish you well too 💜💜💜

Great poems, Willow! The last one is my favorite. 🙂
Jan 14, 2022 @ 07:59:06
Thank you, I like the last one best, using less syllables focuses the mind 💜

I enjoyed all three haiku and like the ideas of them, hibernating and waiting, of dreamtime and memories.
Jan 14, 2022 @ 07:55:58
Thank you , I feel that the earth holds many dreams and so much knowledge.💜💜
Jan 14, 2022 @ 13:34:41
