Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Storytelling:
sit in a circle
gather your friends around you
listen to stories
It’s Haiku Friday again. For the past twenty years or so, it has been my practice to write one haiku every day. Every Friday I share a haiku here, about whatever topic I happen to choose. I invite you to write a haiku on this topic too, and share it with me and the readers of this blog. Just write it in the Comments below. The only rules are: 1) your haiku must be about the named topic; 2) you must follow the 5-7-5 syllable format; 3) no obscenities or hate (I will delete those). That’s it.
At the end of each month I’ll gather up the haikus in the “Haiku Comments” that meet the criteria and pick one at random in a drawing, and send the winner of the drawing one of my e-books: your choice of Haiku for the Seasons I, or Haiku for the Seasons II.

Crickets stop their song,
the logs crackle as a grace.
“Once upon a time…”

Miracle du Conteur.
Dans le silence tout autour,
Les mots qui s’envolent!

“Storytelling” according to Suki:
Tales told by my tail,
each motion a new segue;
spoken with a swish.

ancient cryptic myth
whispers from the old mother
illumine wisdom

Velvet black birds on
Lush green carpets stealing
Worms from their safety
Sunday morning walks offer
murder by crows and beauty
