Oh, joy of joys. I have just discovered some people who love haiku as much as I do. In fact, there’s a contest you can enter if you’re so inclined. “The contest winner (a.k.a. The Haiku Buckaroo) will receive a Magnetic Poetry Haiku Kit, a Haiku Buckaroo Mug and a super-cool button for their blog (in their choice of white or black).” It’s the perfect occasion for me to trot out the last two haiku I wrote in South Carolina.
Haiku for my son
Backhoe loader beeps
engine rumbles noisily
red earth scars and falls.
South Carolina haiku
Bird calls “whippoorwhill”
green water trickles and bobs
tiny fish swimming.
Go on. You know you want to try it.
I love these haiku! Just lovely. Thanks for entering!
These are great haiku. Didn’t Leslie set off something wonderful? Maybe you knew already you had it in you, but I am a newbie Haikuer and I love it! 17 syllables at a time.
