After an unexpected belated Christmas gift from my parents, I was inspired to create a whole bunch of haikus today. Haikubes are these amazing dice you roll to create your own haikus. I posted about them over on Escaping the Inkwell in the post Writer’s Inspirational Tools, and now I have them! Yay.
Well, after spending some time with my sister this afternoon, we came up with these six haikus. For those of you who do not know, my sister has down syndrome, so sometimes, it always amazes me of her insight.
My Haikus
A reflection on my work life
Dilemma as grace
opens one for melodic
time in wet water
A desire for my work life
Overlook torture
the hmmmm slips down a fast time
happy fire in limbs
A desire for my family
My home touches me
stay full of grand thunder
a sleep calls to grace
Now my sister’s haikus:
A regret on my romantic life (she has none, so this was just funny)
It calls her moonlight
clear dreaming into fathom
places with travel
A reflection on my future
In your shady flock
she sang for sleeping in peace
shelter honestly
A reflection on our world
It’s your life my limbs
is my god watching me too
what a grand feeling
So, there you have it. Personally, I think my sister’s haikus are much more brilliant than mine. Insightful in ways. I think we will have fun playing around with these, and I know I will especially find use for them. I saw ways to open up my ideas to other things.
