Drabble Day (The LJ Interests Challenge)  by annmarwalk

Interest: haiku, poetry, writing

Haiku Writing

She is accustomed to seeing him write for hours, smiling with satisfaction; so it is unusual to see him so frustrated, writing and scratching and writing; then crumpling the paper and tossing it aside. What is it that disturbs him so?

“It’s a form of poetry, quite different from anything we write. Seventeen syllables, in a specific pattern: five, seven, five. I can’t get mine to quite work …bother! How do they do it?”

She smooths the wadded paper with her hand, and reads:

The sea breeze carries

Whispers of spring, to gladden

My lady’s grey eyes

“Count again, love.”
