Description
My poems will be in the artists comments, for some strange reason - DA will not let me edit the text - so all 31 days will be in this deviation until I can get it figured out! Dang DA sprites....

day 20 I changed it to fills - though I am uncertain about it. (you are very right! Excellent suggestion!
Light fills
the insides
of open vases.
Day 19 I changed and dropped dreams.
Thank you for your ideas, time, thoughts critique and advice. I am very happy to say that I think I am growing up! I may have hit my elementary school years (maybe 4th or 5th grade) haiku writing wise....

what about 'light dwells' or 'light touches'?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
light touches - I like that.... Light reaches... No.
Light touches implies a gentle way while at the same time illuminating. I really like that the more I think about it.....
-
inside
open vases
light touches.
Even more concise and vague yet full. 5 little words. What do you think?
light touches
inside
open vases. < Final one?

9 is lovely, a really nice image that contrasts with the usual idea of frost (if you weren't actually talking about frost then it's good that it has multiple interpretations

#6 strikes me in a good way. I'm not sure what it is...maybe you're describing a whirling dervish snow angel

Thank you for a very constructive response. You are right, I am also going to make Lynn uncapitalized as well, to decrease my importance and put God, myself and dog on the same plane....... I am a Taoist myself, so it was bugging me to use God in this way, I just couldn't figure out how to do it. Sacred circles are American Indian, they are much like labyrinths and mandalas to focus thought and meditation to higher planes. Though whirling dervish snow angels would be fun too!

When I started with HaikuWrimo I was 5-7-5ing and I love the format because it teaches you to use your words to great effect, and really gets your thinking cap on. It really defines and improves your writing when you set limitations - I love it! Then I read this - [link] and it opened up a whole new world for me - and I love the freedom as much as the restrictions. Inspired by and I decided to do this one with freedom.
[link] is someone I am watching with great enjoyment. He 5-7-5s very nicely, as do you.

hm. I get the not 5-7-5 thing but I do believe the 17 syllable thing is nicer. Even moreso because thats how it seems to work for the traditional Japanese way. I prefer it.

And you do it beautifully.

Thank you Laurence, I am working so hard to improve. I still get confused sometimes - wondering if what I write is true haiku and senyru, but I keep trying. You have helped me on my way so much - and I thank you for that...

That is the best definition of the two I have seen. Every day - the curtain opens on my understanding and the light shines in.

Reading these in a series, one after the other, a life comes together, expanding the scope of each piece and increasing it's texture. I love 'em.
