"Poetry is when an emotion has found the thought and the thought has found words."-Robert Frost
Weekend Assignment #212: It's National Poetry Month in the United States, but poetry itself is a worldwide phenomenon, existing in many styles. Lets celebrate the form. How? By writing a poem of course! It can be silly or serious, haiku, limerick, rhymed verse, blank verse, free verse, two lines long, or fifty, or anything in between. All I ask is that it be a new, original poem, not something you wrote in high school and trot out occasionally.
Extra Credit: Do you have a favorite poet?

I looked through my archives to find some photographs to go with my poems. I like using the two together when at all possible. I think I like what I came up with. :)
New Hope (Haiku)
Alone With The Sea
The Day Slips Into A Dream
A Night Light Brings Hope
Seaside Flowers (Haiku)
Golden Flowers Bloom
As Painted Watercolors
On My Mind's Canvas
Spice Drops (Haiku)
Leaves Of Autumn Spice
Sweetly Brushes The Cool Earth
Cinnamon And Clove
Four Seasons (Haiku)

Now Showing Her Age
Pop! (Haiku)
Big Bubblegum Walls
Different Colors And Tastes

Extra Credit: I really love poetry, but I don't know if I have an absolute favorite. If I had to choose, I suppose I would go with John Keats, but I also enjoy Dr. Maya Angelou and Emily Dickinson.

Now those are nice. The pictures work really well with the words. You defintely understand poetry; unlike myself. .
Hi! I saw you visited my blog - thank you! And I wanted to pay back the compliment. What beautiful photographs you have here. Who says we don't get seasons in California?

Beautifully done. The poems are lovely and the photos suit them so well. Of course, the ones about fall are my favorites.

Oh, these are wonderful! My favorites are New Hope and Four Seasons, but really, they're all excellent, and perfectly illustrated.
Emily Dickenson for sure. I could read her poetry for days...
Love,
Connie
Oh I lvoe the lighthouse but I love the Autumn leaves too! Beautiful as always!
You take wonderful photos and those haikus were perfect foils for them. The lighthouse and the nature photos are gorgeous, but I vote for Pop!
