Haiku Monday
This week's theme at onedeepbreath is "containers".
a small square box
of many coloured papers -
worlds not yet folded
a jar of buttons
from discarded garments
fastens memories

Wow, TWO great haiga! Thank you for sharing these.
I will try to carry them with me in my head today as a treat.
Wonderful! Love the "jar of buttons" that "fastens memories"
Great job!
The first is so appropriate for this time of year with the need for thank-you notes fast approaching.
I love the "fastens memories" with the buttons--perfect!

'Wow', 'Wonderful', the first two words out of my mouth. Excellent way in which in brought the essence of each container to life!
These are fabulous - I almost wrote a poem and posted a photo of my grandmother's buttons - luckily I changed course before finding your excellent haiku
I particularly like the first one, photo and ku. Lovely.
I love the worlds not yet folded of the first haiku. That's a lovely box in the photo too.
Love, them both, but the button jars grabs me, I like the connection to memories.
Bravo!!! A perfect marriage of imagery and haiku.
Excellent photos illustrating your two haiku (haiga?) I especially like the button jar haiku, having a button collection myself, and one I inherited from a little-known grandmother. I look at her collection and think wistfully "If only these buttons could talk."
I love your haiku, too. And the images that accompany them. Sadly, I cannot write haiku. I just don't have that sort of poetry-writing skill set.
"words not yet folded"
Aaahhh, I love that. Both your haiku are lovely!
Terrific haiku!
I don't know which I like better your pictures, or your haiku.
