Backyard Amaryllis by Sarah Hazel
My friend, Sarah Hazel, is an artist. She created this beautiful painting yesterday and posted it on her blog (I love her blog title!) Finding my Glasses.
Thinking about the letter K put me on a quest for a kyrielle. The kyrielle didn’t come to me, but a katauta did. Now I’m not really sure how a katauta is different from a haiku. It is a Japanese form with 5,7,5 or 5,7,7 syllable count. The word katauta means half poem. So I’m thinking if a kyrielle is not singing to me today, then maybe I’ll write a half poem.
Joy surprises me.

Reflections on the Teche 
Gorgeous painting. I love the colors. The image of the prayer flag is a vivid one, Margaret. It’s a gift to have artist friends (and poet friends).
Love the painting and your image of the flag waving, Margaret. Great to try new forms.
