Tonight exercise was to write a haiku, then pass it to someone else who would write a response
my haiku:
spring will not stop!
the relentless greening --
you cannot argue
Jesse's haiku, that I received:
From the window, grass
is uniform until splash,
the rabbit spreads
have you ever seen rabbits dance?
I have.
on a lazy late spring day
with the buzzing of the bees already taking on a lazy summer tone
from the window I see
one rabbit run out of the woods
stop in the middle of the lawn
another - mate? rival? -
runs out jumps over it
leapfrogging, bouncing across the lawn
a fight? a mating dance?
rabbits leaping, three feet into the air
flying rabbits, super rabbits
rabbits getting serious air
rabbits bouncing like superballs
bouncing off into the tall grass
leaving behind a spreading wake like
stones skipped across a pond
