Recent Haikus of the week
5th September 2019
Mantimoon’s Haiku of the Week offers time for self reflection, taking inspiration from everyday life to capture a thought, a fleeting moment or the flicker of a memory.
Inspired, rather simply, by my little boy kicking. It’s got to be the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced. 💜

Phil and I sat in our garden the other night and toasted marshmallows over a chiminea fire… I wrote this in the quiet between mallows.

This next one was inspired by my latest photo of the week! Rather nice that the two went hand in hand 🙂 I love using photography as inspiration for poetry – do any of you do the same? Let me know in the comments below!
