H is for Hat and Haiku

It's April, so the Blogging from AtoZ Challenge is in full swing. My theme is Watercolor and Words.  This year I am painting a watercolor to go with each letter and composing a poem to accompany it with a type of poetry that starts with the letter of the day.  I am mostly experimenting with the watercolors still, so don't expect perfection....

Clicking on the letter of the day will bring you to the main site which has links to get to other participants if you would like to go on an alphabetical adventure!

#AtoZChallenge 2025 letter H

The 8th day is H.  And H is for a hat...and a traditional Haiku of 3 lines, with the tradional 5-7-5 syllable counts per line. As much as I like to "do whatever", I'm a traditionalist at heart.

    Haikus are fun to write and so easy.

    1. It's easy to forget and include words like "morning" as I did. But I didn't say "spring" or "summer". Time should only be alluded to.

  2. That is a very pretty hat and indeed would inspire an excursion in search of adventures
