Inspired by Jess’s slice Glitter, as well as Amanda’s Haiku Moments, I took the time this week to play around with syllables and craft them into Haikus. I love when writing invites play and discovery. Thank you to Jess (and Wren) and Amanda for inviting me to play.
giant sycamore
bark like confetti scattered
summer party time
maci lays and rests
nestled between garden beds

let's observe 
I love how this has evolved! I really love the coupling of the photos and the haikus.

Bark and barker is so good. I love the image of the sycamore tree scattering confetti. I see it as a character that would toss the confetti when no one is looking, so as not to change its image as the mature tree that it is.
Also, your pun reminds me of one of my more embarrassing Aha Moments, when, as an adult, I realized that the expression, “Barking up the wrong tree,” actually wasn’t talking about the bark on a tree.

Photos and haiku, perfect!!! Inspired to think of this for ‘off-weeks’ for students. Take a photo(s) and try out haikus. I’m going out to see what inspires me before the rain. If not, I’ll mine my phone for photos. I remember doing a poetry workshop where I had participants write about a random snap on their phone.

I hope that gorgeous tree makes it through the storm that’s coming. I’ve seen pictures from NJ of friends whose cars and fences were smushed my trees. Stay safe today!

I love your haikus! They both go very well with the photos. I love the second photo, very cute. 🙂

I sat down to write and was stuck so I decided to read last week’s slices since I missed them. So much possibility in haiku- I might give them a try too.

Go for it! Like I said…it’s fun to play with the narrow the idea down to specific words and then syllables! Now, I’ve gotta nail a slice down 😉
