17 Syllables at a Time

My blog has turned into a haiku haven. Why? I think it boils down to challenge. The challenge of getting my thought out within the parameters of the haiku.

I am not a competitive person. Mostly because I usually do not give a damn. But I do enjoy challenging myself. These haiku have rolled out very easily. I do not know why. I have a thought in my head that I'd like to express and voila a haiku is born. Along with the challenge, is the creativity of the writing, the pleasure of flirting with the words and having them wink coquettishily back at me. I like words. I like knowing more words. Yes the dictionary is my friend.

I have found it easier to express some of my thoughts this way. I have come up with new thoughts while writing. ( kinda the point right? ) I feel the release of tension, the grasping of peace and the resolution of some things previously unresolved. All within a beautiful, disciplined, austere structure.

Oh if only all of life fell into the parameters of the haiku.
But it does not. Messy, loud, confusing life-I'll continue to try to comprehend you, 17 syllables at a time.
