Children flit /
In and out of sun and shade /
Smiles flashing.

Now Your Turn: Capture a moment of creative presence: Write a 3-7-3 or a 5-7-5 Haiku. Here’s how.

• Use the 13 or 17 syllables to give a short summation of a moment: what you saw, heard, touched, tasted or smelled.
• Turn the moment in time into an image.
• Don’t tell us what happened, show us.
• Don’t tell us how you felt. Trust the images, the sense perception, to hold the emotion. A good haiku conveys a mood, without mentioning the person or mood.

Every place, every moment in time, is full of poetry. All we have to do is open up to it, allow it, express it.

Poetry is always possible.

Haiku On Instagram: Most days I share my #creativemoments on Instagram. I’d love to know about yours.  Share a picture of something you’ve made, an experience you’ve enjoyed, or a moment of creative presence. To ensure I see your posts, hashtag #creativemoments or #gocreative and tag me: @ornaross
