Healing Haiku
Hello Family!
In the spirit of TallGirl’s excellent blog on the power of the internet in the creation of our home here at Alopecia World; I would like to launch a blog for creative expression. For those of you who are not familiar with haiku, there are many forms, but the basic format is a small poem that comprises of three lines with a specific structure. The first line of a haiku has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. And the last line has 5 syllables. As you compose your haiku poem, it’s helpful to count out the syl-la-bles (3). There are no haiku snobs here, all poetic expressions are encouraged and welcomed.
I’ll start off with my tribute to the strength I’ve received at AW to live a “Bald Life”.
I move through the day
Unaware of the staring
I’m glad to be free.
Have fun everyone! Peace and Love to you all.

Lovely haikus Susan and Betsy. I'm embarrased to say that I've never been in a hammock.

Haiku
I rest easily
on the knots of my hammock's
ropes that unknot care.
