I wasn’t planning to publish a haiku today.
\nI did not write one last week.
\nIn fact, I didn’t do much at all last week.
\nSummer finally arrived in the Netherlands and when it does,
\nit comes full force.
\nTemperatures almost rose to the nineties Fahrenheit and –
\nunlike other countries – we Dutchies don’t have AC’s in our houses.<\/p>\n

I sat in a shaded corner of my garden and read books.
\nThat’s about all I did.<\/p>\n

But it’s a ritual, you know, to visit Rebecca on Friday,
\neven when I do not plan to write a haiku myself.
\nThis morning I saw that her theme for today’s haiku is ‘blue’
\nand I couldn’t let go.<\/p>\n

Back in my corner of the garden,
\nsipping my morning coffee,
\nI wrote a haiku.<\/p>\n

I guess I cannot do without a haiku on Friday after all.
\nIt’s a habit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/pre>\n
..<\/p>\n
Heartbreaking music
\nfills up the entire space
\nkinda blue indeed<\/h4>\n
..<\/p>\n
(No translation in Dutch this time - because of the 'double meaning'\r\nof the last sentence.)<\/pre>\n
Haiku my Heart Friday is hosted by Rebecca.
\nFind the list of participants on her blog Recuerda Mi Corazon<\/a><\/p>\n
The room with my computer is upstairs, the sun shines ruthless on the window.
\nSo I won’t write a long blogpost. I will just show you the art journal spread that
\nI have laying here from the past two weeks – and then turn of the computer.<\/p>\n
There is rain predicted for this afternoon.
\nCooler temperatures.<\/p>\n
I don’t mind that, but I hope it will not drop as far as it did two weeks ago.
\nLook:<\/p>\n
The Chronicles of Marit 2012 – Week 28<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(Size: 24,5 x 49 cm \u2013 9.65 x 14.86 inch)<\/pre>\n
It is sooooo typical for my country to have weather and temperatures
\nthat changes from (much too) low to (much too) high.
\nI sometimes feel that it just never is ‘normal’.<\/p>\n
… and here is last week’s spread<\/p>\n
The Chronicles of Marit 2012 – Week 29<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(Size: 24,5 x 49 cm \u2013 9.65 x 14.86 inch)<\/pre>\n
See you next week dear ones!
\nKeep it cool!<\/p>\n
