January NaHaiWriMo - fourth and final week

The final week of January at NaHaiWriMo and Christine Villa smoothly steered us from the relatively easier prompts to the not-so-easy ones.
The prompts were Mulberry,Milk,Mailbox,Maple,Magnet,Meteor, Mimosa, Medley and Melon.There was another prompt on the final day-- Magic -- which I missed. Here are the ones I attempted.

mulberry silk

cocooned in the fragrance

of grandma

night fog--

the chai at the highway inn

topped with thick cream

spilling out of the mailbox emptiness

lingering

in the maples

sunset

the heat...

van Gogh's sunflowers

cling to the fridge door

shooting star

a plink

in the glass chimes

mimosa

the blush of its blossoms

stain the sky

backyard chatter

the bulbuls

in the momosa

somewhere

in the melon patch

the moon

Finally,thanks, Chrissi, for this month of enjoyable prompts which helped me particularly, to get back in the habit of writing a haiku daily, on the eve of the big February NaHaiWriMo month.

January nahaiwrimo - week three

Mist, Mint,Match, Mosquito, Magpie, Mothball and Mud-- these were the prompts on NaHaiWriMo in the third week of January and here is what I managed to write.

estranged...

the mist

in his voice

mint leaf

a raindrop

turns green

striking a match

in the dark room

the leap of a wasp

drifting off...

this unfinished business

with mosquitoes

monochrome light

the chatter of magpies

at dawn

ma's closet

the scent of mothballs

almost a patina

football field

the squeals as high

as the mud splatter

January NaHaiWriMo - week two

The second week at NaHaiWriMo...the prompts were: Mesh,Mango, Manhole, Mosaic,Maze, Meadow and Mantel.

And the ku I wrote were:

window mesh-

the spider weaves 

a sunbeam

paisleys-

a whiff of summer

in the swish of her skirt

manhole night the beginning of another world

cracked mosaic--

a gnarled branch

against the sky

corn maze

the wind will have

its way

morning fog

the meadow lost

in cowbells

shrugging off

the mantle of clouds

Eucalypts

January nahaiwrimo, week one

NaHaiWriMo is always fun.Since I've not been able to get down to writing small stones, I started doing Chrissi Villa's prompts on nahaiwrimo this month and this is my first week's harvest. The prompts were :Mirror, Marmalade,Murmur,Morsel,Melody, Magnolia and Mask.


gleaming mirror
my questions thrown back
at me



black currant jam
I scoop out a spoonful
of darkness



snaking
across the forest floor
the murmur
of a fire



first morsel-
a mouthful
of toothless smile



windchimes
one or two ripples
in the pond



magnolia buds...
the words you write
on the window-pane


halloween night
everywhere
the raccoon eyes
