It’s been over a year since I submitted a haiku to Haiku my Heart – the group that I used to join every Friday. A lot happened in the meantime. The best thing? Four months ago my beloved and I  moved to a lovely apartment in the centre of Middelburg (Zeeland – The Netherlands.) I still wake up with a smile every day! (You can see and read about the beautiful place I live now in this blogpost A tourist walk.

One of the attractive things that comes with living here is the many birds that surrounds us: there are high squealing swifts in the air (I counted 15 the other day,)  pigeons and seagulls, blackbirds ‘singing in the dead of night’, a woodpecker in the big oak and jackdaws… a lot of jackdaws.

I wrote a haiku about those jackdaws and once again, I join the tribe that Rececca brings together on her blog every Friday:

Haiku my Heart

Now that we settled in this new apartment (and my atelier is up and runnin’) I hope to write haiku more and join in the Haiku-group more often from now on. Thanks for your visit, have a nice weekend!
