Haiku- What Poetry means to me

Image
When you start out as a poet, I believe there is a defining force within you that forms a majority of the underlying themes in the poems you tend to write. On your journey as a poet, as your poetry matures, so does this underlying theme to reflect how far you have come. For me a poem has always been a source of inspiration. A sparkling jewel shimmering with the underlying thought. So much more precious than a real gem, for poetry in my mind is magical words, strung together in a beautiful song that touches hearts and minds alike. Hope my Haiku on what poetry means to me resonates with you. (Image Credit: flickr Felix E.

Haiga -The Dance of Thunder

Image
The dance of thunder Flashes of silver adorn The deep blue night sky The dance of thunder Intermittent claps rattle Aboard London Eye The dance of thunder Lighting up the London sky Big Ben gleams bright This picture was taken by your's truly aboard the London Eye on a rainy, stormy evening with a raging thunderstorm a few years ago. A most ill opportune time to catch the splendor of the London Eye. Writing this Haiku made me re-visit the wonderful evening I spent with my brother.  In hindsight this was the most beautiful thunderstorm I've ever had the fortune to experience.  To lovely memories!!!              I am eternally grateful to Chèvrefeuille for the daily Haiku prompts at  Carpe Diem Haiku Kai .  This post is for the Haiku prompt on  Carpe Diem Special #144, Kala Ramesh's fifth haiku "thunderclap"
