About Haiku poetry writing, Beth says: "It's very relaxing and rewarding for me to be able to say so much in so few words." HAIL THE HAIKU-ER!
Haiku poetry writing is an incredibly brilliant skill.
Sometimes... often actually, it's harder to say more in fewer words than to be verbose.
To cultivate that skill requires a sort of meditation on essentials... on PURPOSE and the soul of a thing, so it seems a very centering thing, and as indicated, Beth said that she:
"Finds it relaxing", would seem to underscore that meditative quality as well, though for some of us it might be a strain. :-D
Beth’s reply:
"Yes to all you've said. I have also enjoyed using pencil and doodling word choices until I get the right combination of syllables."
Here’s Beth’s Haiku of the day:
GRATEFUL
Welcome open air
Applaud another day
Grateful for the breath
