Here are haiku I wrote at Lambton College‘s campus on Oct 13/14 for my Haiku workshops where we discussed the essence of haiku, discovering totality of experiences in our daily lives and how the ordinary becomes extraordinary!
Thanks to Lambton College for inviting me to host haiku workshops there.
after brief rain
a rainbow over
my highway to Sarnia
maple trees
along the roadsides
Thompson’s vibrant paintings
on the radio
the debate
Dylan’s hard rain
chemistry, business, science
faculty members pondering
on three line poems
the right moment
snapshots in words
haiku contest
clouds gathering
I walk uphill
come close, closer
little pond
fish and leaves
swim in the clouds
feeling young again
in the college café
I savor black coffee
Many faculty members wrote wonderful haiku and had great fun… here is one by Lisa Bicum (Professor, English and Humanities /Lambton College)
on my computer
so few clothes
childhood…not the same
feedback from Lois Nantais:
Your enthusiasm and gentle grace are infectious, Anna! Thank you so much!! You definitely made an impact (even though I had to leave a bit early, you very much inspired me and I’ve written six haiku since!)
