Haiku

empty page sits
no words from a full heart
scribbled pages on floor

  2. @Neva: With my muse quiet, I am trying to work on other bits that don't require as much inspiration. Maybe a visit to you will fix that Neva.

  3. @Madeleine: Hello Madeleine. Thanks for stopping by. Too bad I didn't have more to offer today, but nice to meet you anyway. :)

  4. @Brian: With my new office space, if I through them against the wall they will bounce back and hit me in the nose. Not the desired result, but it might jar me into a different haiku.

    frustration mounts
    flung away from dull thoughts
    return on the nose

  8. @Talon: You know Talon, re-reading this, I really like it too. While it may be inspired from the empty page staring at me, it feels full of the purpose behind the haiku. Always lovely to see you.

  11. Brilliant Haiku, Katherine!

    And I think this something ALL us bloggers can relate to at times.

    I know the feeling!

  12. @Mairmusic: Thanks Marilynn. I think that it rings true for the twist needed for a traditional haiku. :)

    @Jannie: So many words that come to us from day to day. Sometimes it is just where to start, right? I think I rolled it good, eh Jannie?!

    @Ron: Mwah! You are precious my dear. :) We certainly have all had our trying moments where it just won't flow for love nor money. The more I read my little haiku, the more I like it.

  13. This resonates with me. Out of absence comes presence, I hear you.

  14. This is more profound with each time I re-read it. Haiku's always stop me in my thoughts, for a ''full heart' brings contentment and peace, and stillness.

    lovely you still have your muse going on...

  16. @Joanny: "This is more profound with each time I re-read it."

    I am glad you say this joanny, as it resonates with me a little more every time I re-read it too. While it does hold a little of "what to write today?", there certainly is more feelings behind the blank page. I read it and keep going further than the blank page. I am full. I don't need to fill up pages. I have cast away the scribbles and now, I am...

  17. I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block. ~Jeffery Deaver.
    You’re Haiku hit home as I often suffer from both and find myself setting in the rigid position with hands in prayer, blank eyes reflecting back from a stymied laptop.

  23. Dear Kkrige

    Its a perfect haiku and would have loved to read this when I was trying to work on the Monday Form (At one stop poetry) post on the Haiku and visited every one on the post. But anyways, its good to be here and reading this great one....I liked the one you wrote on the replies too...

    All this got me inspired enough to write one of my own...

    With a jerk, I tore away
    The pages, Dark alphabets flew off
    Joined the chaos of my mind

    Thanks for sharing this one...

  24. @Shashi: YOu honour me deeply Shashi. I read your post at One Stop on Monday and while I didn't comment thought it was a great look at the form. Sometimes I can write from a prompt and in the now, but often I write as the words come to me.

    I like the visuals you created in your haiku. It creates a brilliant image.

  25. Relatable, perhaps too relatable - though my problem isn't a lack of story/poem ideas, it's too many ideas - or, as I call it, "camera angles. . . how do I represent this?"

  26. GAH! Forgot to add that I enjoyed this a lot. :)

  27. haha! Thanks Steve. I know what you mean. Given the right mood/prompt/whatever, I can write on and on. As I am with so many things, how to narrow it down?
