Haiku: Dolls In Spring And On Thin Ice

“Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!”  Victor Hugo

Haiku: Dolls In Spring And On Thin Ice


A Doll's day
Dressed for the Parade
Springs to life...


Today, the words are: Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival), Haru Ichiban (First Spring Gust), Usurai (Thin Ice)


What is Carpe Diem?  Blog Owner, Kristjaan Panneman,  describes it as:  "a weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"

Some Food for Thought: Do you have memories of events that include any of these words? Have you ever been called  Courageous?  Take a moment to contemplate what Doll Festival, First Spring Gust,  and Thin Ice mean to you? Love and Peace in 2013.

I would love to hear from you: Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

    In the doll house, we see our desires standing in line, waiting to be fulfilled. :-)

    Dolls and doll houses bring back many fond memories, gusts of them long gathered and tucked away in the depths of our heart.

    The doll was so cute. I remember one of my aunts has a dancing doll. My sister was really afraid when it started to dance.

    Dolls remind me of my childhood. My sister and I always have the same doll. Now, we both have a true doll. Our babies =)

    The quote and haiku about Thin Ice have a very deep meaning. I consider the 'thin ice' to be struggles in life that we courageously conquer each day.
