ladybug makes the day (haibun)

Tournesol CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haibun, Haiku 2015-07-282015-07-28 1 Minute

The little girl skips home to show her mom the drawing she made at day camp. Turning the corner, she bumps into a boy on a skateboard and she falls to her knees. Crying and holding her scraped knee, her drawing falls into a puddle. The skater looks around awkwardly, leaning on an elm tree.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol
