Haiku conversation


My spring haiku:
Sacred ibises
Wings whispering slow grey silk
In a blue spring sky
My lady's haiku in response:

Cat rolls in spring sun
Dizzy abandon, dog more
Wary, winter aged.
and my daughter's:
Tiny animals
Unfurl themselves to the dawn
As the sun rises

You inspire me -- I haven't written haiku in ages. Maybe that's a good way to get back into writing my own stuff -- good discipline.

Thanks -- these are very nice.

Thank you, Robert. Maybe I should start a tourney for stories of less than 100 words. They're good for stimulating the juices, too.
