Being a mother and embracing the art of haiku allows me to once again discover a serene and powerful form of self-expression amidst my busy life. Haiku, being so concise in structure and focuses on nature and moments of reflection, offers me a peaceful escape and a way to capture my thoughts and feelings in just a few lines. Writing haiku becomes a daily ritual, allowing me to pause and appreciate the beauty in small, everyday moments. This practice not only brings me personal joy and fulfillment but also serves as a creative outlet where I can explore my thoughts and emotions, finding clarity and calmness through the art of poetry.
As I delve deeper into the world of haiku, I get to share this passion with my family, teaching my children the simplicity and elegance of this poetic form. Together, we explore the rhythms of nature, capturing our observations and feelings in short verses. This shared activity strengthens our bond and introduces my children to the beauty of poetry and the power of words. Embracing haiku also connects me to a wider community of poets and enthusiasts, both online and offline, where I find inspiration and support. Through haiku, I not only enrich my own life but also foster a love of creativity and mindfulness in within my family.
