2015 adding haiku

2/10/2015

OK it is 2015 and with January comes the joy of reflection and setting new goals for the year. I love this time. The holidayra past, in the dark months, I settle in for a long winters nap; sleeping, dreaming, reflecting, creating and planning. I want to be more present here on the blog, so I have concocted this idea. Commit to a simple little haiku a week. it forces the first step. get online! then it forces a moment of creative expression and reflection.
that's all. Here we go.
The rules.
    must be art, or ceramic related.
    the last line of this week becomes the first line of next week.
    3 lines of 5-7-5 format
that's all
the rest is magic.

seeking perfection
imperfection, it is said
that's where beauty lies.
