NaHaiWriMo - colours

Orange

darkness falls
jack o’lanterns glow
on orange flowers

Picture by Leonie W.



Red


with a red pen
she marks the paper
mistaken kisses

Black

Hebridean flock
grazing by Rutland Water
black sheep all

nuit noire
lune, Mercure, station spatiale, 
et phares de voiture

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
diabolo-menthe
One from about 1985

ice cold in the sun
gleaming glass
mint-lemonade


Blue

glimmering lake
through the beech trees
bluebells

White

cloudless sky
the calm lake mirrors
Aoraki's snow

ciel sans nuages
lac calme qui réfléchit
les neiges éternelles


Turquoise



turquoise jewel
refracting light
Lake Tekapo




powdered rock
refracted light
a turquoise lake

I like your haikus.

Can you remind me of the rules ?

And I like Esther's photo too.

These are quite useful to look at - I'm constantly learning, but when I break the rules I claim it's an ALIku.

There are two facebook pages - NaHaiWriMo

and NaHaiWriMo en français.

That's where the prompts have come from each day in February.

Merci.
Penses-tu que j'ai respecté les règles ?

J'ai vu balayer
Ma rue est sale c'est vrai
Mais surtout gelée

J'essaie d'abord en français, l'anglais viendra plus tard.

I'll get back to you - but haiku don't usually rhyme. I'm not an expert - I keep making mistakes. I'm trying to find an open accessible site for haiku in French, as the two I use most are English ones.
