Starts and Beginnings.

I have started a Poetry Writing Course being ran by the Crescent Arts centre in Belfast and is being facilitated by Stephen de Burca. I am thoroughly enjoying being in a space with other like-minded people. Every week we are given prompts and asked to write something. I do write every day but it rarely has a focus or a plan.

Week one. Write a Haiku about each of the seasons:

Spring:
Daffodils Blossom.
Lambs leap and bleat in fields.
The sun gently shines.  
Summer:
Air conditioning
Is not something that we here
Thought we’d ever need  
Autumn:
Red, yellow and brown
Make a carpet for the ground.
Dogs are delighted.  
Winter:
Footprints in fresh snow.
Icy projectiles surprise
Any who come near.  

I’m quite content with those.
