Good Friday aftern0on you all! Yes, afternoon… I’m late today.
The weather was too nice to stay inside so my beloved and I went for a walk this morning. When we returned, I searched my book case for a book title haiku and found yet another one. (You can tell these books are really old – coming from the ‘smoking-era’ – all yellow and brown from aging and nicotine… I cannot clean the spines as these are not ‘plastic-ish’* and I would damage the paper…)

*Plastic-ish is probably a non existing word, but you know what I mean, right?

Anyway, without further ado

Haiku My Heart Friday

You foreign readers probably raise your eyebrows when your recognize the first book and read the strange translation… yep, the book is called ‘The Fellowship Of The Ring’ in English. The Dutch translation says (In de ban van de ring) “De Reisgenoten” which translates as “Travel Companions”.

Last Friday, someone asked “What will you do for haiku when you run out of book covers?”
Well, find a photo and write a haiku myself I guess, like I did before.
But I haven’t run out of covers yet (my bookcase is huge!) so here’s another booktitle haiku.

When you saw my former post, you could have seen and read why my desk was filled with mail art from all over the world. My desk does not look like that today though – the surface is clean and ready for me to paint, draw, collage and journal again – and that is the plan for today and the weekend!

But there’s no start until I publish my weekly haiku – I just cannot start a Friday without it.

Haiku My Heart Friday

This haiku was found/written for Haiku my Heart Friday, and if you want to see more photos and read more haiku, I recommend you hop on over to Rebecca’s blog Recuerda Mi Corazon to find the list of participants.

Oh, and if you don’t know what haiku is exactly you might want to read this post in which I explain about the ‘rules’ of writing haiku. It’s easy and once you start with it you might find yourself counting syllables all the time

While flipping through magazines searching for images to collage last week, my eyes were drawn to all kinds of words and sentences and so I created an art journal page with a found poem. I guess I was in the ‘poetry-mood’…

It has come to my attention that a lot of woyww-participants prefer a short post showing only the picture of the workdesk. I am not the type for very short posts – so feel free to skip the ‘tale’ and scroll right to the bottom of this post to find my workdesk.
