I was going to say sorry for being "late" to this post, but then I might have missed out on some of these comments, and I love reading what each of these poet friends has responded! (I think we're all in the "weary feet" boat together - ha!) Thanks so much for sharing your poems. My FAVE is the Dec. 14 one (which was my mother's 80th BDay, btw) - that 'polar opposite' is pretty brilliant. <br />HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HAPPY HAIKU-ING!Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-10863330048693791312018-12-16T19:32:18.971-05:002018-12-16T19:32:18.971-05:00Fabulous post and much inspiration.

I am bookmarking all of them. Dec. 13th's haiku I can relate to the opening for sure.

And I think we who write other kinds of poetry tend toward language and poetic devices that are... flashier? Thanks for sharing your beautiful words, Heidi. xoIrene Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905936104127707762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-3925280131634375952018-12-14T07:21:39.205-05:002018-12-14T07:21:39.205-05:00I would say your weary feet did meet the challenge...I would say your weary feet did meet the challenge, Heidi. It has the simple language of haiku, and the contrasting elements - with the twist at the end - and the freeze gives a clue to timing. And the element of nature, too. Tick, tick and ticking boxes! :) (It was my fave - though your fairy lights ticked lots of classic boxes, too. :) )KatApel - katswhiskers.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297639228969549518noreply@blogger.com
