Rotting log from a now unused children’s adventure park
Rotting and decaying
this old log, once new and whole,
a long time ago.
My first attempt at writing any sort of verse since my school days, many, many moons ago 🙂

Thanks Sarah, I’m not always sure how many syllables certain words have, some are obvious, but others, like ‘words’ for example, could be classed as single or double syllables!

I just sound them out, counting the syllables on my fingers, if I’m not sure. I think I would count one for “words”. Most simple plurals have the same number of syllables as the singular. Then of course you need to know correct complex plurals like octopuses! I suppose if I was pedantic I’d check them all in a dictionary 😉

That sounds like a great idea about checking the dictionary Sarah 🙂 And thank you for the advice on plurals 🙂

Writing isn’t a strong point – what nonsense ! I love this haiku and photo and I love that you used a photo for inspiration. I’m also giving myself a little pat on the back because I might have inspired you just a little too 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thanks Jo 🙂 I had to look up a Haiku a wee while ago, it’s a Japanese verse, consisting of 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the next, and 5 syllables on the last line, and it can be about anything from what I can see. Which makes it a great way of briefly describing a photo 🙂

… a lovely touch of poignancy in your haiku Andy .
Isn’t wonderful being able to explore new and old interests by way of blogging 🙂

Thank you Poppy 🙂 And yes, it is the wonderful thing about blogging, the whole Haiku thing has made me consider maybe trying to write some slightly longer verse about my photos! The only trouble with that, is that it will be all of you who have to suffer the consequences of my attempts!! Lol! 🙂
