This week’s Haiku Dialogue column, which can be found at the Haiku Foundation, was all about purple. Purple has been my favorite color for as long as this pedometer geek can remember so it was a pleasure to enter a couple of purple-themed haiku for consideration. Tia Haynes, who is editing these columns that she calls The Haiku Prism, chose one. It is as follows:
pulling weeds
she sees a constellation
of violets

Check out all of the haiku this week at http://www.thehaikfoundation.org at Haiku Dialogue. Every shade of purple appears. There are haiku of purple flowers; there are heartbreaking haiku about bruises caused by abuse, and so many more.

Unfortunately, the photos that contained the more common dark purple violets weren’t as good, but I digress.
Happy Mother’s Day!
We see more getting close to the ground 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
Now when I look at violets and even clover I’ll be looking for constellations 🙂

Me, too. I find myself looking for them, too. Now, to do next week’s prompt on brown, which is due by 11:59PM tonight (not that I procrastinate or anything). 😉

Yeah, I hear there is a group for that (Procrastinators Anonymouse), but I haven’t sent in my application or attended any meetings. 😉
