“Today, let’s write a poem about water. And/or a haiku. And/or use a simile.”
5-7-5
Water drops skew sight,
like clouds raining tears, smudging
silver eyeliner.
5-7-5-7-7
Softly, silk droplets
fall like sands through an hourglass,
like minutes filling
a river of liquid time,
rushing into the future.
This post is my first attempt participating in one of WordPress’s Writing Workshops, and part of my scary effort to become a better writer!
Perhaps I should have started with Writing 101, but here I am beginning with Writing 201: Poetry… Wish me luck!
Through the Lens of my Life 
A bit late to the game, but truly the best haiku examples I’ve seen – period. The imagery was masterful. Well done.

Thank you! Maybe it’s beginners luck. I usually write random thoughts on scraps of paper in a poetic style, and then they are forgotten, unread. Participating in this workshop is a way for me to fight my fear of people reading what I write and a way to get me to sit down and write with something in mind. 🙂
