One Deep Breath- "Perspective" Haiku
Take a close look at a person, an object or an event. Then try to look at the same thing from another perspective. Interpret perspective in the literal sense (spatially) or metaphorically.Then write TWO haiku about your chosen topic, each from a different perspective.
Flitting like a sprite
hovering, searching for fuel
nectar of the bloom
Constantly moving
searching for satisfaction
never finding home

Great idea!
XOXO
Wonderful photo and haiku!
I loved "hovering, searching for fuel"--I've never thought of it as fuel before :-)
Thanks, Tammy!
Oh, these are wonderfully imaginative haikus. "hovering, searching for fuel" - brilliant!
what a cool photo, your haiku (as always) are wonderful and meaningful!
That photo is has truly captured the magic that surrounds you. And "Woman as a Hummingbird"--that is so cool!
If I could be anything, I'd be a bird. You, Tammy, are a perfectly beautiful hummingbird.
:)
Aha - these haiku could apply to a person as much as to the hummingbird. Beautifully crafted haiku, Tammy. And magical photo. xo
Two lovely haiku and two interesting perspectives. Lovely photo too. It's a long time since I've seen a humming bird....
Fantastic photo Tammy, and lovely words too
that's a great photo - we don't have humming birds here, they must be beautiful. I like your two perspectives
beautiful haiku, tammy.
amazing birds. no, we don't have them here - we have a hummingbird moth which isn't really the same thing!
gorgeous. i love the idea of the sprite searching for fuel.
Such dreamy haiku...mmm
still lovin' the haiku vibe we've all got going on!!
love ya, Tammy...:)
fantastic picture and poems :)
betty
Great picture! I heart hummingbirds.
:)
I don't think i've ever seen a hummingbird in the flesh (feather?) - this is such a lovely pic, and the haiku complements it perfectly.... "nectar of the bloom" - gorgeous x
ps. and your SPC cracked me up - brilliant idea!
Very nice, especially the latter haiku
Tammy this was really great. I'm late on commenting and I agree with what everyone else has already said. Great topic, great picture.
What a great photo and a lovely set of haikus! I love hummingbirds - they're so graceful, even while working so hard.
You almost caught him in the photo. He is looking at you, I can tell. You need to start putting these into a book.
The gladiola pictures are wonderful! One of my favorite flowers. What a great exercise to move out of my own perspective and see from another's! You are a haiku master, Missy!
Such a nice photo, and I like the busy sprite idea. Must confess, that I buzz around like that at times.
Beautiful `kus!!!
You`re writing is terrific!

OMG the hummingbird reminds me of the camera commercial where the guy takes a picture of a hummingbird to demonstrate how his camera has the "image stabilization thingy" which has really unlocked his muse!
