Haiku My Heart: Basho for Bonnie
Bonnie of Original Art Studio recently bashed what she refers to as pseudo-haiku , saying she refuses to leave comments on blogs that post them. She says, "A haiku true to its original form should contain a seasonal reference, not be subjective, and contain a line that juxtaposes in clear contrast to the other two. " ` She goes on, "Rarely do blog-posted haiku even meet one of the criteria, let alone all three." So this week, I'm posting a haiku from one of the masters. Does this haiku measure up?

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.

twirly skirts

EGWow: isn't it fun to look at a photo and see something unexpected?
Leslie and Uma: Haiku My Heart totally delights me because I love pairing words and images.
Spadoman: It would take some effort and still wouldn't be perfect, I suspect.
B and B: as Butler would say, everything is light reflected.
Cathy (GrandmaK): That's what we should all aspire to --dancing in beauty!
Ramesh: That's what imaginations are for.
Deb: I love haiku calls and responses. It reminds me of kirtan. And I think that your skirt would need a bit of lace in addition to the crystals.
Jean: I took that early one morning, when the city was quiet and there was dew on everything. It was magical.
Southwest Arkie: Thanks!
ControllingaSpicyUniverse: Thanks - it has a delicate beauty that's appealing, I think.

Have a good day, Boonie
Thanks so much for your birthday love on the blog today ! You made me laugh out loud with the boobs comment ! (Only problem, I have big jeans and big boobs ! But I still have a hell of a lot more to celebrate than worry about !)
Happy Friday, Meri !
Your comment made me realize that I had put in last week's link in the haiku list this morning.
Thanks.
Obviously not all Virgoes are equally organized and meticulous :-(
What are these lovely flowers deserving of your haiku?
Other than upside-down tulips I mean:-)
Boonie: Oh, the pressure!
Kim: I've responded personally so nobody else is reading our body woes.
MoreMemes: Virgos, organized? Well, maybe sometimes, but sometimes distracted, too. And I don't have a clue what kind of flowers these are. . . I found them in a public garden, no tags attached.
Stephanie: Me too, if my waist were that small.
All the best Marinela x

Thank you for sharing your vision of beauty and drawing us into your bejeweled world!
Beautiful image to go with your elegant haiku! I ♥ it!!
FoxySue and Scarlet Ily: Finding beauty in the world and bringing it to consciousness in myself and others is a passion.
Turquoise Cro: sent you a message.
Ms Pie: these flowers aren't tulips or crocus, but I'm not sure what they are. They were in a public garden with no tags attached. I've never seen them before.
Noelle: Thanks for you words and the links to the articles and images. They hit the spot.
