Goodmorning sweeties, how are y’all doing? Still healthy and safe I hope. Are you bored yet? I know of a lot of people who get bored after almost three weeks of isolation (and the end is not in sight yet, in the Netherlands we have to stay in self isolation at least until April 28.) The province of Zeeland also announced an emergency decree: tourists are not allowed to stay the night over in Zeeland. In normal years, Zeeland and the coast line overflows with tourist and because there are just a few hospitals in the region, there would be too many people to help if they get Corona… the province is very quiet now. Local people are allowed to go out to do the grocery shopping, walk the dog or go for a short stroll but I stay inside or on my balcony as much as possible. My beloved is the one who does the shopping. Who also goes out for a walk, usually (very) early in the morning, is my friend Lena and she still takes the most beautiful photos. Today I choose this one to write a haiku with.
Friday haiku
| Noodverordening Die voetstappen moeten wel van een local zijn |
Emergency rule Those footprints must come from a local citizen |
The photo was taken by my friend Lena Schreijenberg
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
This spread was half-finished on my desk last Wednesday (see this post) and I didn’t like it very much. I wrote: “the spread needs journaling and I hope that will lift up the image.” I think it did ’cause I like this spread now!
The Chronicles of Marit 2020 – Week 13
The sun is shining, the weekend will bring Spring weather and high(er) temperatures and the plants on my balcony are green and happy… I hope to spend both time on my balcony catching sunrays as well as in my atelier, playing with paper and paint. Whatever your plans are for the weekend: enjoy and be careful, keep it safe!
Je t’embrasse
Hello dear Marit. I am so glad to be here at your blog and revisiting your beautiful Zeeland. Those lone footsteps across Lena’s photo and your words… we are in week four of quarrentine and us too, we don’t know when it will be lifted. I am grateful for my yard to garden in and time to make art and poetry. Wishing safety and beauty to you and your beloved. Love you dearly my friend.
Good Day, Marit. Like you, I’m keeping low. Along with a Haiku, I also posted a news update separately. It is at the top of my blog. Hope you will visit my update as well.
Same situation here in MA ~ ‘and the beat goes on and on…….
Lovely haiku and your mixed media artwork is awesome ~ happy creating ^_^

Footprints are curious things. I love the continuity of the message in your haiku.
Not bored because i am accustomed to being alone. But i do feel very uneasy. Trying very harm to keep calm
Luv your haiku
Much💗love
Be suspicious of footprints left in a time of “social distancing”!
