Well, back in May, I submitted two of my better haikus to be considered for a local publication called "Poetry While You Wait." The publication is distributed in our local area anywhere you have to wait...doctors' offices, car repair shops, etc. I am excited to announce that not long ago I was notified that one of the two poems I wrote got accepted for the publication! Hurray!
Now, I don't know which one got accepted (although I have an idea of which one), so I can't fill you in just yet about the poem, but I had to share the good news. Once I know which one it is, I'll share it with you.
I also fiddle around with adding haikus to my artwork. Here's a piece I did called "To the Moon and Back":
I wrote a haiku for it:
Travel the world, but
always return to your sea
of tranquility.
This is definitely one of my better attempts at being a poet! I like incorporating my poetry with my artwork. It's like adding another signature to the artwork, one that helps people know the artwork is mine. It makes it more personal, more real, more meaningful. At least I think so. :-)
So, I'll continue to work on my poetry, too. How's this for a close today:
Memories, like leaves
scattered across your path, change
as time passes by.
Well, not awful, but not great either. At least it goes with the picture!
Happy days, everyone! Try not to stress out too much with the holiday season now upon us!
