Haiku Monday - The Little Things

.
.
Picking a topic can be a difficult thing.  Sometimes something in recent moments has been dying for greater exploration.  Sometimes a notion just seems to fit.  Today it just so happened that the mundane collided with complexity while thinking on recent endeavors.  Just a few little things to be done, and they were simple things, as crows fly black.  But that they were simple did not equate to them being easy.  So the topic is on those easy little, or big, or medium, tasks that consume all of your wit, charm, patience, effort, energy.  The little things, indeed.

I will stay with 5-7-5, of course with three lines as such.  The extra tidbits of traditional haiku are bonus material.  I love them, when they work, but do not require them.  The seasonal notes, and words that change the direction or idea, or embolden it, are what I discuss.  Several of them combined, even doubled, make for interesting material at times.  Haiku, itself, is simple.  And yet... not?  As for seasonal, if it fits the texture of the notion (spring as an action, or fall for falling), or the actual idea (like spring cleaning), or in some other way(s) fits, whatever tradition actually is, is how I like it.

As for the actual topic?  Pick piano playing, talking to your love about 'those' issues (whatever they are for you two), learning a trick, or social graces, or whatever nagging little easy thing that is wiping the floor with you.  I suppose even if you are a woman and try to drink your vodka while upside down (remembering my notion on limericks coupled with a hat tip to BlazngScarlet just for fun).  So much is so much more difficult than it would seem on paper, and what you can't get I can, and the reverse, perhaps, but... I certainly have empathy.  No need for sympathy.  Yes... show and tell, if you can.

The Grace of a Stream

Spring to writing 'ku.

He could not think a word well-

Let go and it flows.

Talking to Mum

Hello, let's go, work.
Of course, let's get to it, yeah-
Zzz zzz zzz zzz.  Screech.

Just to get you going.  I hope you do far better than your judge though.  Then again I have not been disappointed to date.

Oh, something fishy brought up and I and others have been doing and like?  If you can, post your poems on your blog, adding visuals.  Pictures, videos, music videos.  It's not a requirement, of course.  Some of you don't have a blog.  It just adds to understanding, enjoyment, and creativity.  If you got em', and can, roll em' and smoke em'?  Something.  Plus... if you do it, we will visit!  A little ego-visiter bump is always good for the blogger soul?  I, urhm, had forgotten to do that meself this time!  Well... I'm... up!  Now.
