December Haiku Share
Thanks to Kirsten Cliff for giving me the idea to pull haiku from some of our collaborative rengay. I never thought of them as stand-alone haiku before, until I re-read them all again yesterday and realized that each haiku really did have a life of its own, outside of the rengay. The starter haiku below is from “The Scent of Pine” , the first (of thirteen!) rengay that Kirsten and I wrote together this year:
hushed dawn
bird tracks
in the snow
From “The Scent of Pine” rengay with Kirsten Cliff; A Hundred Gourds 1:3, June 2012
Suggested themes: dawn, birds, snow, winter, or animal tracks. Or pull a haiku from a rengay you have written. If you missed the initial post, click here to read about the month long haiku challenge I am holding right here on my blog this December.

My dear Aunt joins us. Joy. And good one!
Oh, I didn’t know you’re related to each other. You both have haiku genes 🙂
I didn’t know that either. Very cool!

I remember that prompt. It was a good one! I miss the ReadWritePoem site.
Me too. I didn’t participate as I would have liked to do, but it kept me thinking. 🙂
