tiptoe of bright recesses -
no inspiration!

What a lovely little haiku 'duet', Anna!! You have captured the essence of your thoughts within the 3 line, 5-7-5 syllable format perfectly!! I think that is the uniqueness of haiku. Making a complete thought... a beginning middle and end, ((and making it poetic!!)) within those three little lines! I have been rehearsing for a poetry reading I am giving tonight so I haven't written anything new in over a week now! I'll be back creating soon, hopefully. Keep creating your beautiful poetry.....Jerry

I can't write haiku's, I'm pretty useless at it actually, so this rings truth with me. I can't wait to read more of your work Anna. ~ Gypsy

I'm no good at haiku's either, but the feelings you express I think I can relate to in writing in genral. Sometimes it's a battle, and you have to let work twice as hard to get the words out. This was an inspiring little write Anna. ~ Nixie

Hi Anna... especially loved the second part in this duet haiku. Haikus are a joy in the challenge they pose to be expressive in a few words, and in their brevity that, when properly utilized, adds further to the expression, yet allows for mystery. Haikus are definitely potent little charms in deft hands and minds.
Take care.

Ha! I love it Anna. You are not the only one to fall back on the trusty haiku to unblock those troublesome clogs. This one looks like it did the trick whilst showing us how it's done.
Cheers!
