H is for HBRGRL and Haibun

Oh, so many plates for H today!!!  But I picked HBRGRL!  I love it and it worked so well for a Haibun.  What is a Haibun? It combines short prose with a haiku.  Though a haiku doesn't have people in it, mine does... oh, well, sue me.   Click here for more info.

  Here is the MASTER LIST of ALL participants who signed up for the #AtoZchallenge 2018!

Harbor Girl

There are girls and women who work at sea alongside their grandfathers, fathers, husbands, and brothers.  There are some who work on their own boats.  And there are women who stay at home and keep house and the books for their men who are out on the boats.  Whether they are on the water or on land, our harbor girls are a hardy lot.

every surface layered
harbor girl's face glows

Here are the other H vanity plates.  This was a difficult choice to make, there are so many good H vanity plates!

    1. Yeah, technically a haiku should not have people, and should reference a season somehow. I have taken liberties with this form!

  3. I'm not used to these vanity plates so it's good to get a translation! Loved the haiku - very evocative.

    1. The more of them you see the quicker you get at the translations...most of the time anyway!
