Friday haiku: attack

Marit — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:13:48 +0000

op lange poten
loopt de zon van oost naar west
wolken vallen aan

on long legs, the sun
walks from the east to the west
clouds launch an attack

Friday haiku: piece of rainbow

Marit — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 07:40:37 +0000

zomaar, vanmorgen
een klein stukje regenboog
tussen de wolken

suddenly, this morn
a little piece of rainbow
between the clouds

Friday haiku: what it is

Marit — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 08:45:51 +0000

Het veld. De wolken.
Seizoenen komen en gaan.
Het is. Het zal zijn.

The field. The high clouds.
Seasons come and go. It is.
It will always be.

Friday haiku: Clouds

Friday haiku

Wolkjes in de lucht.
Wolkjes in het zand en wij,
mensen, daartussen.

Small clouds in the sky.
Small clouds in the sand and we,
men, in the middle.

The photo was taken by 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

Friday haiku – Dutch cloudscape

Marit — Fri, 10 May 2019 08:40:27 +0000

Wide skies and small words… that’s what this Friday is all about.
This photo, this landscape, overwhelms me and leaves no room for chitchat.

Waterverhalen.
Onder een Hollandse lucht
stilstaan. Luisteren.

Waves tell a story
under a Dutch cloudscape. Stand
motionless. Listen.

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.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Look up at the sky today.
Breath fresh air. Enjoy
and have a great weekend.

Recalcitrant

Marit — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:55:15 +0000

I’m a reasonable woman – at least I think so.
But sometimes, just now and then, I’m in an recalcitrant mood…

.. and it’s kinda fun, ’cause when I’m in such a mood I make drawings like this:

Or art journal pages like this:

(This is for A Year in the Life of an Art Journal – the word was “Thanks”
Well, thank you for this challenge! Some old anger came out for this one
and it felt so good to throw it on the page!)

After this, my recalcitrant mood was over.
I looked at my page and giggled.
I’m satisfied with it, and I’m back to my normal, peaceful self again.

The next art journal page is especially made for ~*~Patty …

… who pointed me to the Wednesday Stamper (Patty is in the DT.)

The theme for this week is “Music” and you have to use at least
one stamp on your page. I started with a photo of clouds
and added my picture to it with the gel medium transfer technique.
I used a text-stamp on the right side of the page.
The handwritten words come from the song ‘Clouds’ (Joni Mitchell)

“Something’s lost but something’s gained in living everyday”

You might remember zentangling?
I did this a lot early 2010 but grew tired of it for a while.
I picked it up last week and made this fun page in my little zentangle journal.

And… last but not least…
Did you see that artsy button in my side menu?
Rachel asked me to be guest host at A Year in the Life of an Art Journal
and ofcourse I said yes… how could I not? Art Journaling – YEAY!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

P.S. I managed pretty well in not rambling this time, don’t you think?
