"You must look within for value, but must look beyond for perspective." Denis Waitley
Useless arguments...
Road meets Sky. Is the world flat?
Gain some perspective
Thoughtful perspective
Is that Blue Sky or Blue Sea?
What's your perspective?
Authentic cadence
Rising or falling rhythms
Deceptive voice shows...
A flawed perspective
Letting our failures rule us...
Lets go, rise Phoenix!
This week, the prompt is: Useless and Cadence
What is a haiku?
As Leo of Haiku Heights aptly explains, a haiku is a three line poem. It shows what the author wants us to understand from it, rather than tell it directly. The limitation to a haiku is seventeen syllables. It can be at maximum, that much. If you wish to go by the traditional Japanese structure even with English haiku, you can use a 5-7-5 syllable, or 3-5-3 syllable structure
As we start the month of February, we have a new Nablopomo word to focus on - Perspective. How do we develop it? What do we gain from having a negative/positive/neutral perspective? What is real? Truth? False? It's all in the perspective we take and no one can take that away from us. For this exercise, I have merged my thoughts on the subject with two words from our weekly haiku at Haiku Heights - Useless and cadence. Hmm mm. What comes to mind when you think of both words? What do you think of my interpretation haiku? If you are interested in joining the February Challenge, there are a few tips to remember:
1) The NaBloPoMo February 2014 theme is "Perspective"
2) The NaBloPoMo writing prompts are Fantastic
3) NaBloPoMo has added a photography component to its theme and prompts
4) I'm doing NaBloPoMo, and I'd LOVE some company.
