baby gurgles
thrilled with his new playdate
in the hall mirror

baby gurgles
looking up at Mother
mirroring her smile

thrilled with his newplaydate
child tries to touch his face
the river splashes

in the hall mirror
mommy and daddy kissing
children giggle

Haiku Horizons: Mirror

Published by Tournesol

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com Namaste! View all posts by Tournesol

Hi Cheryl Lynn – I like your linked haiku. They present a clever use of the prompt. I’m not sure whether or not I let you know that I did start up that haiku and related forms prompt site we talked about. Here’s the link to the latest prompt if you are interested – https://ontheroadprompts.wordpress.com/2017/06/30/the-road-is-life/. If not – just ignore this message. 🙂

  I did see it, Suzanne. I have been writing very little lately…busy with my mom`s house lately and work but I saw a post on facebook this morning…will take a look.

    Not a problem. It will probably fold anyway. Not much interest and incredibly hard to do. 🙂 Good luck with your mum’s house. I’m glad things are moving along for you.

    Don’t get discouraged, Suzanne. When you start a prompt, you need to let go for months before you get any interests. It is the time of year many are busy outside in this neck of the woods anyway. Why not let the prompt go for 2 weeks to start. Which day of the week is it?

    The prompts are always open and new prompts are posted on Saturday. I am letting Spirit guide me on this one. It is true it needs time but then I have other off line projects that are requiring a lot of time. Thanks for your input.
