Friday haiku & languor afternoons

July 12, 2019 By Marit 5 Comments

Goodmorning lovely ones – I am back with a haiku today. The photo is made by my friend Lena Schreijenberg

Friday haiku

windstille morgen
de oude molen krijgt plots
een extra dag vrij
day without wind
an unexpected day off
for the old windmill

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.

It’s Summer in the Netherlands and I spend my days being lazy. I wander around the house or I hook up with people I haven’t seen in a while. I also spend an afternoon with my parents. We drove to a small village near the water where my dad and I sat on a dyke and sketched. Some of you may have seen these drawings on my Facebook page or in the newsletter, but I had not published them on my blog yet.

These sketches perfectly picture the languor of a warm summer afternoon.

I wish you days like that!

Je t’embrasse.

    Your sketches are absolutely wonderful! As is your haiku. A windless day is felt in your words.
