I haven't been on the site much at all this month, and i've sure missed a lot of gorgeousness...love the pic and poem and the way you've showcased them here; the leafy branches and touches of punchwork are fabulous!
Jen, I love both of your Haikus, the one in text and the one that you've created to illustrate it, beautiful DA, beautiful vines, and that frame!!! how perfect!!!!
You really do have to quit enabling me. I'm going to have to add yet ANOTHER punch to my every growing, already enormous collection. Thanks. Thanks a lot, Jen. Oh - beautiful page, btw. Simply spectacular. And your poetry is perfect - not mushy or gooshy or anything ooshy at all. Go you.
WOW!!! In a million years I would have never thought to use that punch like this!!! So GORGEOUS!!! This is a remarkable lo!! That little poem is awesome...I remember my son and me doing his homework making up Haiku's! Love the DA frame and finish, the the beautiful cream, pink and green embellies and the gorgeous photo! xox
oh Jen, when I initially saw the photo - I thought aha - stalking in your neighbors garden again . . . But those BEAUTIFUL daffodils are from your garden. Loved reading your description, love looking at your GORGEOUS flowers and AMAZING lo. Oh, almost forget - GREAT Haiku too.
Created using the Scraps of Darkness April kit - wowowowow wee is this a stunning kit. Maybe my favorite thus far? But I probably say that each month as I open my box of goodies and gaze upon the contents. That simply means Melinda, the owner, out does herself each month. Please consider SOD.
This was created with CSI-Colors, Stories and Inspiration case file #14 in mind. I am having the best time following CSI. It adds such a fun twist to my work and really presents a challenge sometimes to make me think. This case file was a perfect example of stretching my mind with poetry - one of my least favorite forms of expression. I tend not to understand poetry unless it starts with, "roses are red, violets are blue..." Poets operate with a whole different thought process than I do. I tend to think it is more evolved and more sophisticated than how I write. I write about a cat. What does that tell you? Not much sophistication going on - however Escape Kitty may disagree as she truly believes she defines sophistication and evolution.
Enough of Kitty -back to the poetry element of this challenge. One of the elements of the CSI case file this week was to write a Haiku. Well now, since this kit has an Eastern flair to it and the kit is called Sakurabana, I already had the whole Japanese theme going so what the heck. Haiku it is.
A Haiku is a Japanese poem with some distinct characteristics. It usually references nature and is characterized by 17 syllables in total. Those syllables are configured into 3 lines of poetry which must be as follows - 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
Here is mine: Spring comes with warm sun and promises renewal. A fresh start for all.
This is a photo of the daffodils in my garden....MY garden. Yes, it's the only thing I actually can grow.
I used the Dusty Attic Baroque Frame Set -Circle DA0542 here and painted it with Adirondack paint in Sandal, then inked the edges with some olive colored chalk.
