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

  3. 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!

    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.

    I don't know which I like better your pictures, or your haiku.
