It’s Poetry Friday. I’m in the midst of one of my busiest couple of weeks ever – Book Week, a burst of promotion for Fly-In Fly-Out Dad, a move of house, family illness, a busy period with my studies, a writing deadline… Anyway, rather than let this prevent from participating in Poetry Friday, for the second week in a row, I’m sharing a quick post in the form of a haiku poem.
I took this photo on the Abrolhos Islands last year. I’m fairly sure this plant was a weed, but it reminded me of tiny little trees from a Dr Seuss book. Thus, my poem.
Poetry Friday this week is hosted by the amazing Sylvia at Poetry for Children. You’ll find the round up there.
What a great way to see the world– through Seuss-colored glasses! Best to you during this exciting and busy time, Sally.
Thanks Michelle 🙂
Those stalks definitely look “Suessical” – thanks for sharing the fun. And good luck with all the current life-wrangling.
Thanks Robyn. And thanks for visiting.
These quick photo/haikus are how I managed to participate in PF during July when I was home helping mom move. And now I kind of like doing them for more than just survival!
Yes, they are more than just a survival strategy. They’re fun too.
Aw, I love Dr. Seuss, Sally! It’s quite an interesting-looking plant. I don’t think I’ve seen one in books or in real life. Thank you for sharing such a lovely haiku. =)
Thanks for visiting!
Hi, Sally,
So glad to see you in the Poetry Friday gathering this week! Your link on my site is “off,” but I’ll see if I can fix that. Meanwhile, thanks for sharing your marvelous Seussical haiku and best wishes with all you have on your plate at the moment!
Sylvia
Thanks Sylvia. I’m not sure what went wrong with my link – my apologies.
This could almost be an illustration from a Jeannie Baker book, Sally. It just looks like her so-authentic collage style. Stay sane in the busy-ness!
Thanks Kat. It is a bit Jeannie Baker, isn’t it?
Good wishes for all the busy days, Sally. This is an unusual plant. I hope you discover what it is! Fun to make it from Dr. Seuss. FYI-your link goes back to Sylvia’s PF post, not yours.
Thanks Linda. Yes, Sylvia told me I did something wrong there. I’ll try again.
