Sohbet – Headcold Haiku Tree

It’s time for another haiku tree! And in keeping with the season, a virus laden themed one.

Here’s how it works:

You can add a branch to the “trunk” of my haiku by filling in the Leave a Reply box at the bottom of the page with you own haiku, pulling from a word, phrase, or idea, in my original poem.

OR

You can branch off from someone else’s haiku by clicking on Reply by their name, and building your haiku around a word, phrase, or idea THEIR haiku inspires.

Have fun with it, and feel free to diverge from the flu-addled theme, this is just where it starts, who knows where it will go…

Oh, and a primer for haiku newbies – its a poem in 3 lines:

5 syllables / 7 syllables / 5 syllables

It’s that easy, not even any rhyming!

Here we go!

the bustle of life
halted. curled up, fuzzy socks.
snot-filled solitude.

Sohbet – haiku tree

We’re going to try something new here. A haiku tree. I’ll start a haiku (the trunk) and you all can take any word/theme from the poem and add your own haiku (add a branch) or take a snippit from someone else’s haiku response to graft a branch on their branch, and well see just what kind of wild and winding tree we can grow here.

Logistics: if you’re branching off of my haiku, you’ll need to post it in the Leave a Reply box at the bottom of the page, if you want to build on somebody else’s branch be sure to click on Reply by their name.

This could be very cool…

Here’s the starting haiku:

* * *

A flat of peaches
Brought home from warmer valleys
Scent infuses space

* * *

Sohbet – Love Poems to Coffee

Ya know,

I’d write a love poem
to my morning coffee…
Except I don’t think
it would have a lot of words

Just some happy hummy noises
and the occasional sigh…

*     *    *     *     *

I found some words, 17 sylables of them:

This coffee, in bed.
Nothing but skin between me
and the sheets. Sublime.
