I can’t help but try to shift away from the image (as with the verses in haiga and renku), yet also hope to resonate with it in some way. Hope that’s part of what you might be after, Aubrie, or maybe it doesn’t matter.
Michael, I feel like it doesn’t matter—it’s the resonances that I feel are more important. Basically, there’s just more wiggle room—than, say, in traditional haiga, which I’m a very strong advocate of the shift and breaking away from the visual half—to be closer to the image if people want, but don’t let that wiggle room hold you back!
Yay Words! 
loop de loop
another rainy
Saturday night
someday
maybe
yes
Love this, Tina. 🙂
Lovely, Tina!
with practice
haiku improve
paper planes
wind shift
an acceptance letter
lands on my desk
blue moon
launched in a paper rocket ship
my X lover
silver wings
buoyed by the wispiest clouds –
I fold my hands
[…] haiku is in response the doodle on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog, Day #10. Like this:LikeBe the first to like this […]
crushed petals
sending him
the last email
paper planes
fly in the classroom
missing teacher
cluttered table–
the last plane takes off
in an inky dusk
the ability to fly —
all those words I thought
I could write
paper airplane
none of the others
meant to land either
finally
finding a use
for paperwork
idea after idea
launched and crashed
origami
inside all day
boys playing war
with unmanned drones
origami
minimalism –
no comment
(coming after everyone has gone, scrolling down with my eyes shut…)
forgetting
our anniversary . . .
petals closing
