Haiku, Senryû 1 Minute

talking in bird language…

(haiku)

rooster
nature’s morning call
crows

hen party
heckle about this and that
cluck

Hummingbird
speed of its wings
hum

seagulls
gorging over litter
squawk

raven
boasting black beauty
caws

In this area in Quebec it is forbidden to hunt wild turkey past noon because they are more vulnerable…it is a time they are often found napping in a tree.

afternoon freedom
safe from hunters
turkeys yelp

Humans talk (communicate) in varied ways…

(senryu)

business meetings
teaching, lecturing
no talking in class

baby’s first words
talking gibberish
toddlers understand

adolescents
instant message texting
teen talk

music
lyrics soothe the heart
love songs

tête à tête
holding hands lovingly
warm caresses

sexual healing
communion of bodies
gentle moans

matters of the heart
talking softly
language of love

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

      1. One of these days … I would just love to be able to meet all the friends I’ve met on the net just so we could have that cuppa together.

      2. I have met three already! I would love to meet up with a group sometime…maybe find a spot that is not too far for all of us. Now that`s too funny …we would have to meet in the middle of the ocean somewhere:)

      5. If I ever win the lottery… I’ll figure something out 😉

        Maybe buy a private island resort for a week or more and fly everyone to it? Now that’s an idea 🙂
