On a roll

Later that month . . .

Again it was an episode that concerned my children which induced me to pen or pencil down another haiku. It was another moment of revelation that was the key.

What I enjoy about haiku as opposed to 'poetry' is that it is the idea that is important, not the words. The more simply you are able to state something, generally, the better. There is no one-upmanship involved, no frippery or showing off.

For me, it strikes a chord (or gong, or chime).

p.s. my daughters were then six years and 16 months
