Today , Day 11 of #The100Day Project is International Haiku Poetry Day... What is haiku?
Haiku is a type of short poetry that is usually three sentences long. First popularized in Japan in the 17th century, Haiku as a poetry genre has been adopted by many languages around the world. In English, the genre first became mainstream in the early 20th century. In its Japanese avatar, haikus traditionally have three lines with 17 syllables. The first and last sentences have 5 syllables and the second line has 7 syllables. Haiku tend to give an interesting insight about something trivial, usually some aspect of nature or the seasons. from https://www.timeanddate.com/

Having decided to complete my 100 day Project by each day writing a haiku (or at least a pseudo haiku) and create an accompanying wearable pin , today should be a special event in the project. However, I always find the first 10 days the most difficult until I get into the swing of things. This year, I think I started to settle after the first week, but for some reason, today was really difficult to think of something, so I wrote a haiku about writing haiku
"Writing modest poems,
My thought unravel slowly
Moments re-defined."
Yesterday, my wearable pin and poem celebrated the most simple - a cup of tea.. It happened simply because of a "red" challenge - to draw something red, and I chose my red mug at breakfast time (even though I ended up drawing a little lantern). .
"Banishing blue moods
A bright red cup and hot tea
Transient blessings."
