And yesterday was a very busy day. First of all I exercised an hour in the pool. I don't swim laps but I do my "dance exercises" in the water. Then traveled to Jerusalem where I caught a ride with a friend to Netanya. It is a bit crazy to go to Jerusalem to get to Netanya, since Netanya is closer to Shiloh. But the logistics of going to Netanya by tremps and buses from Shiloh to where we were meeting friends for a late lunch made the decision easy for me. In the summer midday heat comfortable and airconditioned win hands down.
I had a lovely lunch with friends in Netanya; Gd willing I will review the restaurant. Then we walked a bit in view of the Mediterranean Sea.

As many of you know, I write a #morningcoffeehaiku every morning illustrated by photos of my morning coffee and the sun or a view taken the same morning. Well, this morning I got stuck:
Bright sunshine today
fill in seven syllables
Very strong coffee
#morningcoffeehaiku
As you can see, I had no problem finding a five syllable opening line and a closing of another five syllables. But I haven't a clue as what sort of seven liner to put in the middle. I need your help to fill it in. You can also "pad" the ending with another two syllables, so then you just need a five syllable closing.
Awaiting your ideas, thanks. Please put them in the comments. I really do appreciate it, thanks, again.
Got out of bed by alarm.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I like that.
ReplyDeleteMore ideas, please
The first line is only 4 syllables, not 5. So that, too, must be revised.
ReplyDeleteHow about: "Such bright sun today.
Getting up from a bad night;
Very strong coffee!
Bright sun this morning
ReplyDeleteThinking Netanya seaside
Very strong coffee made to drink
Dreaming friends together
Just my two cents...
ReplyDeleteLady Light, fixed it, but yours is better! You got it exactly.
ReplyDeleteFreyda, lovely, true
but no haiku.
Thanks to both of you
So what's the definition of haiku?
ReplyDeleteJapanese poetic form of 3 lines 5, 7 and 5 syllables. I write one most mornings as sort of an ode to coffee.
