Written for Haiku Fridays with J-Dub.
These are some of the plants in
our sunroom. I love it here!
leaves grace every shelf
blossoms peeking through the green
our room breathes with life

Love the song……….. finally found it was a Beach Bloys number after it was featured on Happy Feet!
Good Haiku and beautiful plants!

I hate admitting this…but I had no clue of what a Haiku was until I read a horror book a few years ago. I know we must have went over it in school but I don’t remember or in college. The book was IT by Stephen King. I love the structure of these…simple looking but not easy. This one is perfect for this! Of course I love the song!

It takes a big man to admit something like that, Max! 😂 I’m really glad to know you enjoyed my haiku and The Beach Boys 😊
If I may, I’d like to ask a question. The image I used here looks squished …. a bit elongated/distorted, like looking in a funhouse mirror. I don’t think it’s my phone because the photo looks fine there. Any idea why this would happen when uploaded to wordPress on my Mac? Thanks, Max

I’ll give you an educated guess Nancy because I’ve ran into it. It may be because your theme or block editor is forcing the image into a container size (width x height) that doesn’t match your photo’s original size.
See if you can see if the image block is set to a fixed dimension in the editor. If so remove it. Or…just do away with the block and try pasting the picture.

We were never taught poetry concepts and styles at school at all. I read IT, but had to read every other chapgter and then go back to read the others!

Yes…it’s an interesting book. It is horror but also coming of age. Kind of like Stand By Me with an alien shapeshifter clown! I’ll never forget the Haiku
“Your hair is winter fire/January embers/My heart burns there, too.”
