[I always feel weird saying I’m writing “haiku,” because while I can totally do the 5-7-5 thing, there’s a nuance to it that I miss because I don’t know Japanese. Part of me wants to learn Japanese just so I can write proper haiku. Maybe that will be my goal for my 50th year.]
My Facebook page has informed me that the “113 people who like Suzanne Terry, Writer, haven’t heard from you in a few days.” It’s just been 5 days, Facebook. Calm down.
The problem this week has not been writer’s block. I don’t often have that problem. I can produce some words. The problem is producing words that anyone else would want to read. So this is one of those weeks where I have oodles of content but nothing ready to share. It’s like all the words are locked away for safekeeping.
Writer’s lock, I guess.
But here’s what I can do. I can unlock a few words and give you my week in haiku(ish) form.
Monday, a liar
Easy lulled tranquility
Leaving unprepared
Tuesday, a charmer
Books, wine, and friends – piece of cake
Sunshine in my hair
Wednesday, a chaos
Spinning, dancing, speaking, rush
Untimely dew spritz
Thursday, a fresh breeze
Calm madness of life and work
Friends gift friends coffee
Friday, a welcome
Whatever comes, light follows
Into shadow night
