In a recent NESTER post, Maureen published FOUR SUMMER HAIKU. You are invited to read her TWO FALL HAIKU and pause for a few minutes to discover where your imagination takes you in interpreting the haiku.
“I’ve always been attracted to this form and enjoy the mental challenge of working with the five, seven, five syllable structure. I love nature and Haiku are traditionally meant to evoke the natural world so that’s another reason I’m drawn to this form of poetry.”

Might be a project like a scrapbook, a garden addition, recipes to prepare, or a skiff to build in the garage. There is still something there in the mess that begs to be finished.
You must read it to the end to discover a surprising solution!
