The Haiku Diary

Day thirty: This is The End

This is the end 

The voyage ends now

In front of you all I bow

Last entry for thee

So, this is the last entry in this diary. I tried to keep up with one post a day, though the schedule was a bit rearranged at some point. Thirty entries, one for each day of the month of November. Tomorrow is the beginning of the Avant period. Tomorrow will be another type of exercise, at home this time, for the kids: every day from tomorrow until Christmas day, one gift will be opened. 

Somehow, it is easier to find twenty-five gifts times two (two kids) than to produce thirty somehow passable haiku. Some came on their own, some had to be extracted word after word from a still mind.

I am just a bit disappointed with me as I was not able to make them real haiku. They did not follow the principle really well, just the 5/7/5 structure I would say. And even there, it all depends on how you pronounce, or more what you do not pronounce in all words.

Anyway, the voyage ends here. I will now concentrate on other projects. Finding the genre that fits me the best, practicing my writing and trying to polish my skills… anything that would help me creating a purpose…
