Friday haiku & Chronicles

July 26, 2019 By Marit 4 Comments

Goodmorning lovelies – I am here only for a minute, to post a haiku and show you my latest art journal spread, and when I’ve done that I’ll be gone again ’cause these days The Netherlands suffer under the heath (over 40 degrees Celcius = more than 107 degrees Fahrenheit.) We are not used to temperatures that high and we don’t have airco in the house, so you can imagine how it is to spend time at the computer in my atelier in this heath… I woke up early this morning but noticed that it didn’t cool off much during the night so I post this and will get my bum back to the room where we placed a ventilator.

Friday haiku

bloemen voorspellen
in geuren en kleuren een
warme zomerdag
flowers predict,
with their scents and colors, a
magnificent day

It’s far from good, this haiku, but you’ll have to go with it. Blame it to my cooked brain…

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

And here’s my latest art journal spread… we’re in week 30 already so I am behind keeping these pages up to day…(same reason as the above…)

The Chronicles of Marit 2019 – Week 27

This has to be it. I’m off from this oven that I usually call ‘atelier’.
Have a great day, KEEP IT COOL!

Je t’embrasse.

    Your haiku is good enough to transport me to faraway places. Not only do their scents and colors predict a magnificent day, but they also act as a magic carpet to whoosh me away! Thanks for the magic, Marit!

    No no! Your haiku is wonderful, and true. Lovely photo. I cannot imagine 107 without air conditioning.
