haiku at Lambton College‘s campus

Here are haiku I wrote at Lambton College‘s campus on Oct 13/14 for my Haiku workshops where we discussed  the essence of haiku, discovering totality of experiences in our daily lives and how the ordinary becomes extraordinary!

Thanks to Lambton College for inviting me to host haiku workshops there.

I walk uphill
come close, closer

feeling young again
in the college café
I savor black coffee

 

Many faculty members wrote wonderful haiku and had great fun… here is one by Lisa Bicum (Professor, English and Humanities /Lambton College)

childhood…not the same

feedback from Lois Nantais:

Your enthusiasm and gentle grace are infectious, Anna! Thank you so much!! You definitely made an impact (even though I had to leave a bit early, you very much inspired me and I’ve written six haiku since!)
