I'm working hard to write haiku and haiku-related poetry every day this month. Tricia Stohr-Hunt at Miss Rumphius has been of great help with her forms posts. Here is the first one about haiku. and there are others after that. Every week I'm grateful for what Diane Mayr at Random Noodling and Robyn Hood Black at Life On The Deckle Edge write and share in their haiku worlds. It's been a challenge to see what I can do with fewer words!

Linda,
Haiku does force us to do more with fewer words. You managed beautifully: "tree shaped poem." I decided to write a haiku last night. It really is an exercise in finding the perfect words.
Cathy.
Linda, you got me with those "bleeding hearts, in line" ! Love! I am loving your haiku. Thank you! xo
Thanks, Cathy, it's been a good challenge for me.
You're welcome, Irene. I am loving your Artspeak, too.
Linda, your haiku captured springtime joy reminding me that there is a fresh spirit in this season. The bug has kept me from picking up the pace this week so Winter Whisperings is still under cover.
From seeing your recent weather, I understand that it would be 'under cover'. Take good care, Carol, & thank you!
Lovely, Linda! I'm so looking forward to those bleeding hearts in my own shady garden. But first, daffodils!
Yep. The bleeding hearts are beautiful. Nice, Linda.
Beautiful photo and impressive range of feeling in so few words. Well done!
Lovely, Linda! Good to hear you are enjoying writing haiku this month and soaking up the inspiration from other bloggers.
I hear ya, Linda! It seems like however much time we have available in April, it's never enough.
Bleeding hearts is such a wonderful subject for a haiku. The name alone says volumes.
Those beautiful "bleeding hearts." What is that flower?
I assume they're coming soon, JoAnn. Thanks.
Thank you, Dori.
Thank you. Flowers in spring are inspiring!
Thanks Jama, I am for sure. It makes me slow down & look!
This was a hard one because I wanted to say more about these gorgeous flowers. Thanks, Michelle.
That flower is a 'bleeding heart" Margaret. You can find more pictures on Google Images.
I'm obviously not the first to say it, but the 'bleeding hearts' are perfect! Nicely done.
We had a bleeding heart in with our daffodils at our last house, and they do wait in line for the daffodils to be finished with their display. I should get some more - I liked them, but forgot about them.
Thanks Matt. The flower is so inspiring, looks & name!
They simply seem to appear overnight, & I've noticed it these years. I was happy to have somewhere to write about them this time. Thanks, Donna.
I love the play on bleeding hearts and " in line after" for a minute I went to activists on a street corner or in a forest... The plant has such interesting leaf and flower shapes. We see them at nurseries in Florida. You are inspiring with this challenge!
Gorgeous! (words and picture :-)
Thanks, Lee Ann. Exciting that you thought of other ideas with my poem.
Thanks, Mary Lee.
Sometimes I look at beautiful things in nature, and it seems almost sacrilege to write a poem about them. They already are poems. But then I read more nature poems like yours that add TO the natural thing, share it and make it more. Yay!
Thanks, Laura. There is additional thought, but I know what you mean. As I look at nature more closely, I wonder if I can add anything to the beauty, & then I attempt that next step. Sometimes it seems to work, not always.
Lovely haiku, Linda! Bleeding hearts are my favorite flowers...after daffodils. =)
Ha! Thanks, Bridget!
Lovely images, Linda. Thanks so much for sharing!
You're welcome, Catherine. Happy you enjoyed them.
So, try a tanka and you'll have two more lines to do it in. And, with a tanka you can use poetic devices!
I started to comment and then it disappeared, so, I'll try again. Keep up the good work with your haiku! And thanks for the shout-out. You're on to bleeding hearts? Not only have we not had the daffodils, we've barely begun with the crocuses!
