Daily haiku, NaPoWritMo, day 2

Posted byColleen M. ChesebroPosted inDaily haiku, My PoetryTags:, , ,

NaPoWritMo has a great prompt today. Check out day two HERE. I’ll write a couple of haiku using a few of the words provided. (s-l-s or l-s-l). (These poems might be more micro-poetry than haiku). 

elusive songs
mercurial thunder 
fog on the river

seaweed oyster 
pearl cyclops

  6. Your final word, generator, stood out to me as if all above that word equaled a generator for creation. I loved this haiku. Left a smile on my face. Thank you, Colleen.

    1. Thanks, Amy. I struggled with that one, but thought of a lone pearl in an oyster looking like a cyclops! Kind of silly, but you saw the oyster as the creator of the pearl. Thank you! 🙏🏻

  10. I think you’re already having too much fun with this, Colleen. The first poem is sublime and the second made me chuckle. I’ve never thought of an oyster as a “pearl cyclops generator.” 🙂
