This week's prompt at One Deep Breath is to write haiku about the scenic route. So here are two haiku about the scenic routes I take during the working day:
lunch from the deli
take the path under the trees
restful and quiet.
tourists throng the streets,
take a detour through the park
- oasis of peace.
Good job, Juliet! And so prompt... I just found the assignment, and you're already on board... Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteSilly thing, but I think you have a typo in line one of the first haiku. With that out of the way, there's a peacefulness to the first one in that you take the lunch from the deli and I imagine that it's busy there, and then you're in the quiet hush of the trees. I want to go there too.
ReplyDeleteThose little side trips into pleasure are so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteNice subject for your haiku.
How wonderful that you enjoy the beautiful surroundings during a regular work day. I hope you go back to work refreshed after lunch!
ReplyDeleteBgfay - thanks for pointing out the typo. I'll put that right in a minute! And yes it is so nice to have a pleasant walk on the way to and from the deli.....
ReplyDeletelovely, restful amongst the hectic... How I would love to be one of those "tourists" one day...
ReplyDeleteI read the second one too fast and was seeing tourists in thongs. LOL
ReplyDelete"oasis of peace" was a very cool line. I need a picnic :) Lovely job!
ah yes, when i worked in the cities i would always seek out the parks - ''oasis of peace'', yes i like that. almost makes me want to go back. wonderful poetry.
