Poetry Monday :: Possible

Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som Mimi fra og jeg har overtaget - midlertidigt håber vi fra Diane, der slapper af og rejser verden rundt med sin mand. Vi håber hun er parat til at tage over igen, når hun kommer hjem.

Dagens tema er:
Muligt

Mange af de ting, vi gør, er det muliges kunst, og for at fortsætte denne blogleg uden at overanstrenge os selv – vi vil skrive digte og fjolle lidt rundt, ikke rive os i håret over at have glemt at finde nye på stikord. Af denne grund har Mimi og jeg besluttet at vi hægter os på gruppen  365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe, der udgiver et stikord til hver dag i året. Vi starter den første mandag i august – og bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være at finde både her og på Mimis blog.
Jeg har i et stykke tid brugt deres stikord til en haiku om dagen. Så for at gøre det nemt for mig i dag – redigering og havearbejde tager det meste af min tid – vil jeg udgive nogle af mine skøre haiku.



- A - - B - - C -

Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
 
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

  I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
  Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others
.


Possible

Many thing we do is the art of the possible, and in order to to continue this challenge and not overexert ourselves - we want to write poems and goof around a bit, not spend time pulling out our hairs over forgetting to find new prompts. For this reason Mimi and I have decided to latch onto the 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group that gives a prompt for each day of the year. We'll do this, beginning on the first Monday of August - and no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog as well.

I have for some time been using their prompts for a Haiku a day. So to make it easy on me today - editing and gardening take up most of my time - I'll present some of my crazy haiku:

11. maj 2025. Face in the Water
Face in the water                                 Marskens vand er fyldt
strange lights between the far trees.    Med sære ansigter
Wanderer beware!                               Lygtemænd lokker.

12. maj 2025. Land Pirates

En tørlagt pirat.                        Hydrophobic Pirate
Kornmark i stedet for hav        Cornfield for the seven seas
bølger i vinden.                        Still there are waves.

13. maj 2025. Dew on grass
Dew on grass, wet feet            Dugvådt græs kilder
Hungry chicken awaiting        Sultne høner venter mig
Happily I run.                         Klukkende af fryd.            

20 maj 2025. Jail
Iron-bars and keys                    Tremmer og nøgler
lock me in, but my thoughts    og vold holder mig fanget,
are my own, and free.              men tanken er fri.

21. maj 2025. Water Witch
The witch of today                
is busy casting her spells
W - A -T - E - R

30. maj 3025. Children's faces. - A not-haiku
Children's faces in the rain
will they ever smile again?
Children's faces in the sun
We are having loads of fun!

June 6, 2025. Textures of a Summer day
Sunrays through green leaves            Solstråler på blade
Coffee break in the garden                kaffepause i haven
Smiles, cakes ... and rain.                  smil, kager ... og regn.

June 8, 2025. An Eye for an Eye
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
Look in the mirror.

June 9, 2025. Skewed Ideas
A skewed idea                        En tosset idé
A tickle shooter, to make        en kildepistol der får
Your enemies laugh.                 fjenden til at le.

  1. I do admire your haiku.
    Free form verse is my limit I think.

  2. I admire your talent. I have enough to do just reading and commenting on the few blogs. I lately seem to be too tired all the time.

    1. Hmm, I have found these last weeks, that if I do not write - and a Haiku a day is a great exersise - I cannot write, and get grumpy, and feel old, and a lot of other unpleasant things.
      I stopped - you know the song and dance: missing one day, I can start again tomorrow ... Words for Wednesday did not happen. Now I feel sad, a failure ... Get back on that horse!
