Read Poetry & Haiku on MY BLOG:
I love writing and reading poetry and haiku, these delicate sculptures of words and images. Enjoy:
A gothic poem A Studded Gothic Door and a Medieval Door Lock, Evangelical Church Sibiu
Romanian Calusarii or Man Dancing With Horses, a Pantoum
By the Tree – What the Eye Smells
For my Sunday blog post Haiku-San I created the hashtag #haikusan. It derives from Haiku, meaning unusual verse in Japanese (hai=unusual, ku=verse, strophe) and San, the honorific Japanese title when speaking about people. San is also the phonetic transcription of the first syllable of the English word Sunday, Sun-day hence Haiku-San.
