For The Love Of Haiku

Hark, you square-eyed kids!
Teletubbies sent packing.
Spring means outdoor play.

Come and join in with the happy springtime fun at http://allaboutlemon.com/2013/03/30/for-the-love-of-haiku-26-happy-spring/, not that I’m encouraging you adults to have square eyes! And, as for those Teletubbies, I don’t intend to invite them into my garden in a hurry, if they’re in the habit of trampling on the flowers like that. Grumpy old woman, me 😉

A tanka in honour of my new literary muse

Serenity, peace,
a figurative sculpture
where quiet words float.
Writer’s literary muse
watching over her shoulder.

My daughter, Vanessa, gave this beautiful sculpture to me as a Mother’s Day gift. She said it was my new literary muse to stand on my desk next to me while I’m writing.
