Corfu Trip
Fishing boats bobbing
Ionian coastal town
Amphilokhia
Busy port city
near Albanian border
Ingoumenitsa
Ferry to Corfu
cuts through the Ionian Sea
an hour well spent
Slender white candles
burn brightly, ends stuck in sand
Greek Orthodox Church
Slender white candles
throw flickering light onto
sacred icons
slender white candles
kissing glass covered icons
quiet reverence
(written by Ted and Laurie)
A little ouzo
Greek dancing in the hot sun
soon become best friends
(written by Ted and Laurie)
Missing by inches
tour buses almost scrape sides
Kononi Corfu
Husband writes haiku
forgotten by silly sife
on sunny Corfu
Wisteria droops
purple blossoms fill the sky
April on Corfu

These poems are written by family members, and do not necessarily have to rhyme. My original personal challenge was to write a poem a day for one year. (Yes, a three line haiku counts as long as it fits the criteria of 5-7-5.) My revised goal is to write 365 poems in the same number of days.
Today in the car, Eva kept asking me about rhymes. Does car rhyme with far? Does zoo rhyme with do? Hee, hee, what about poo?
ReplyDeleteI started telling her about poems. We may just need to start a writing group pretty soon!
I'd love that...
