Friday haiku: Nightfall

July 24, 2020 By Marit 9 Comments

My beloved bought me this book “Diary of a photographer.” It’s written by Stephan VanFleteren, a famous Belgium photographer. During the lockdown he decided to go for a walk every evening (the subtitle says “Corona-walks”) and his notes were published in this book. It’s a book without photos. Of course he made photos too (he published those on Instagram and I guess they will be published someday) but I fell in love with the way he writes!

Friday haiku

My haiku today has everything to do with the book, and of course with my friend Lena Schreijenberg, who takes the photos that inspire me to write a haiku.

De zon zakt. Het strand
bij valavond. Ik wandel
met de fotograaf.
The sun sets. The beach
at nightfall. I’m walking with
the photographer.

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

Je t’embrasse

    It is so wonderful to fall in love with words… and where they transport us. Like Lena’s photos and your haiku. Thank you Marit for these gems and my soul’s longing to breathe in the ocean… XO

    I am enchanted by the idea of a photo book without photos but only the words to describe the moments.

    dear one, thank you for placing me in the salty brine at sunset. my heart is flooded with memories of living most of my life on one coast or another. the ocean will never leave me. thank you for igniting my senses and revitalizing a life long love.
