CALL AND RESPONSE: blog style

 
Posted by Picasa


WAITING FOR THE SNOW
TO SOFTEN THE SEASON'S REMAINS~
NAPPING AWAY WORRIES

my little haiku, again personifying nature, thinking of dried seeds and stalks 'napping', waiting to be reawakened in the spring:
a response to a 'call' ... not intended, but heard. by me. more than once. the beauty of community is provocation at times, provoking/stimulating>>> thoughts/responses/action perhaps. and so it is for me in the blog world. when i see that haiku simple has a new posting, i go there. and then the words start rolling in my head and i respond.
happens with photos posted, or quotations, or collaging, bookmaking, suggestions to relax, or center, or even cook!
in this case, feel and say and then happily count the syllables.

    Beautiful piece, I like the use of 'napping' to describe plant life waiting for the right time to spring into action!

    I love your haiku .... you've elevated the "nap" from something we hate to admit to .... to something noble and helpful to our spirits.

    Nancy. You inspire me. I read your words and suddenly become thrifty (yet effective) with my own. (In my mind)

    Thanks.
