Playing around...

My friend Michelle is hosting a call today with a prompt about play. Thanks Michelle…I’m stealing like an artist this morning. ;)
I feel joyful just thinking about play.

As you might guess…
any activity with Henny
writing BFN
walking in nature
connecting with people
connecting people with people
exploring ideas
cooking a new recipe
trying to balance my on my hands
dancing at weddings
pulling weeds
all play
in my life book

Last night at dinner, there was fiery conversation about current events.
I tried to see it as play—(with success—mas o menos).

And!
Writing haiku is play.
Five years ago I had no idea what a haiku was!
oh! the places experiments will take you!

Haiku is a short simple poem.
three lines
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

friend seeking missile
black Tahoe her submarine
anticipation

whine starts at corner
let me out! I run!
builds winding park roads

back seat leap-er lands
mighty leash pull to entrance
un-clip and she’s gone

Henny needs to go to the dog park today!

Will you share a playful haiku in comments?
