blue – Page 11 – PICS & POETRY

Yesterday I taught my grandchild (10 years) to write haiku. She is extremely creative and she got it immediately. Her first haiku and my heart melted and went all warm:

bladen faller fort
men det känns så långsamt
jag älskar mormor

Translation:

the leaves fall quickly
but it feels very slowly
I love grandmother

Mine:

every single leaf
falls back into mom earth’s womb
babies are happy

I love writing HAIKU!

Sedan suddade jag ut allt

Skrivpuff: Lita på.

Först skrev jag tre rader.
Sedan suddade jag ut allt.
Något var fel!
Jag kunde inte lita på
min intuition.
Mina spontana tankar
hade flytt
innan
jag lyckats fånga
dem.
Jag skrev tre rader till.
De fick stå kvar.
Sedan lade jag
ifrån mig
pennan.
