My response to the prompt “blue” for Michael Dylan Welch and his NaHaiWriMo (National Haiku Writing Month ~ February 2013). The event is centered on Facebook. Each day a new NaHaiWriMo prompt can be found on Facebook in the comments: (t)here.
Etegami ~ words (which can be, but do not have to be haiku) and drawing (with or without color) intended to be sent between friends through a postal service, often as a postcard.
Be fun—Write Haiku – Aloha
I like these peacock feathers! Very nice, Rick!
Aloha!
aloha Fergiemoto – thank you. i like them too. sometimes when i like what i do i want to do more of the same thing and explore it. maybe that is in the future. we’ll see. fun. aloha.
I saw peacocks, too!
love this one, rick.
( hard to chose, hard to choose.)
aloha Angie – yeah, i saw that you saw peacocks with this one too.
i like that you saw them in blue (yeah i know the secrete of those white peacocks). it’s an interesting realization that when we write about something, sometimes what people think is not what we’ve actually seen. if we said dove white, people would see that. peacock blue and people see that. if we said dove blue or peacock white—even when that is what we see—it’s harder for the reader to see it. i think it can be done, but we have to present it so the reader can see it clearly when we attempt it. yeah, i find that interesting.
in bonsai there is a thinking along the lines that it is not how old a bonsai IS, but how old it LOOKS that is important. sometimes that thinking applies to a lot of other things too.
the look of age has character. cool on that.
bwahahaha—yeah, when/if you buy i may have to work out a trade with you so i can see how they are coming out. i cant buy all of them either. ha.
i’ve been wanting to get into my traditional materials and paint on paper and canvas more this year too. i had thought i might do postcards in March, but i seem to be doing that now with digital painting and drawing. so maybe in March i will be doing postcards with traditional materials. that would be way fun. not that i will count on it yet. we will see what happens when the month and seasons change. change is good. and sometimes fun. fun on. aloha.
Precisely!
aloha AlarmingMan – yes. thank you. it’s amazing the things that will grow when planting peacock feather seeds. fun. aloha.
Beautiful Rick. Aloha
aloha Tricia – thank you. i had a lot of fun working out my peacock feathers. those feathers have always fascinated me (and just about most all people too, i suspect). they are such rich seeds to plant. . . . fun. aloha.
