In her insightful and inspiring book One Continuous Mistake, writer and Zen Buddist Gail Sher suggests that writing a haiku a day will dramatically improve one's writing practice.
Given my issues with the "C" word (see entry dated 12/4), I can't promise to follow her lead. But this morning, the day before Christmas, lying in bed, I made my first attempt:
crimson cardinal
snow-caked pine bough bends—
joyous,
hopeful,
holidays
I like it enough to let it serve as my holiday "card", as well as the introduction of this blog to my friends.
Merry, merry!
Finally!! I will follow you anywhere. Love your very personal approach.
