Haiku, "Unravel", 142/365


Needles click, clack, pearl one
knit two.  Kitty stalks, pounces.
Yarn unravels fast.

by Margaret Bednar
for February's "Haiku Challenge"
today's word is "ravel"

* * * * *



The above photos were taken at Pond Hill Farm in Harbor Springs, Michigan a couple of summers before.  I'm pressed for time so I dug into my plethora of archival photos and came up with this for "Patterns and Repetitions in February".  


I participate in the weekly "Magpie Tales Challenge" and usually write a poem.  This week, I decided to write a Friday Flash 55 - to read it, please click HERE to be transported to my Creative Writing blog.




Memories linger
of dear faces, carefree times
and innocent hearts

Wonderful Haiku and photos, Margaret. Water lillies are so precious.

This is such an incredibly charming Haiku. I have two cats and they both would love to get their paws on my yarn. I pretty much cannot knit with those two around!

Justine, The lilies weren't exactly a "February" photo, but the repetition is nice. And my kitty is rather spoiled!

Carol, Kristen, & Jingle - Thank you. I just love Monet's paintings of his gardens...

Hmuxo - If you see a photo that inspires you, please let me know. I'm sure I would be more than pleased if you wanted to draw it. I think your pastels are quite lovely.

Lynnaima & Someone - thank you. It is fun doing this Haiku challenge together!
