HAIKU’S
1.
On guard, high above
Waves crashing on rocks below
Mariner’s sentry
2.
Skies of azure blue
A carpet of pink petals
Japanese springtime
KC 3/19
3.
Freya blows in, lashing
Whipping a wild whirling dance
Among the twisting trees
4.
Gareth’s grey seas crash
As Llandudno goats shelter
In the town gardens
5.
Hannah’s windy gift
Lays woodlands to waste
As March storms onward
MN 3/19
6.
The stars in the sky
Guide the traveller homewards
On his tiring way
7.
The path was frozen
Icy patches begin to form
To trip the unwary
CM 3/19
Creative Writing Latest Work
Each month the members of the Creative Writing group produce some quite talented work, as short stories, poetry, reportage, travelogue or in serial book form. We thought, therefore, we would put onto the TU3A CW page some examples of our writing.
The Japanese form of poetry, the Haiku, which reflects the natural world, was one of the group’s themes in March, so to view our attempts please do go the Creative Writing page. We plan to put on something new each month, and hope you will enjoy reading them.
