Pour débuter en haïku



I'll add to these as and when

NaHaiWriMo - the house

Living room

seated

in front of the TV

she snores

assise

devant la télé

elle ronfle

I've been told I need a juxtaposition - what is she not watching? So . . .

death and destruction
on TV news loop
she snores

or:

wild west shoot out -
in front of the TV
she snores

or:

alone together
in front of the TV
snoring

Bedroom

fresh sheets

on the double bed

hers, all hers

Bathroom

subdued lighting

lavender bubble bath

and toy dinosaurs

lumière douce
mousse lavande
et dinosaures en plastique

tub on balcony
hot water, screen of trees
and constant sleet

Dining Room

candlelight

silverware and glass

TV dinner

Wardrobe

in the wardrobe

behind her summer clothes

his sandals

dans l'armoire

derrière ses robes

ses sandales à lui

Garage

in the corner

of an old drawer

a robin’s nest

dans le tiroir

d’une vielle commode

un nid de rouge-gorge

kitchen

spring sunshine

first bike ride of the year ends

time for a cuppa

soleil du printemps

promenade à vélo

grand café chez moi

NaHaiWriMo - colours

Orange

darkness falls

jack o’lanterns glow

on orange flowers

Red

with a red pen

she marks the paper

mistaken kisses

darkness

moon, Mercury, space station, 

then headlights

Green

an age-crazed plate

spring greens

he starts to paint

on his palette

a medley

of spring greens

glacé au soleil

verre luisant

One from about 1985

ice cold in the sun

gleaming glass

Blue

glimmering lake

through the beech trees

bluebells

White

the calm lake mirrors

Aoraki's snow

ciel sans nuages

lac calme qui réfléchit

les neiges éternelles

refracting light

Lake Tekapo

powdered rock

refracted light

a turquoise lake
