river 2012 - 17

Last night I played hide and seek with the cat. I know, it sounds like something you might hear in group therapy: My name is Lynne and I'm a cataholic. Play isn't a big enough part of our lives as we get older. Not playing games to win, but play that has no end result, no goal, beyond the enjoyment of the moment. Some people might call it silliness.  Silly, from the Middle English 'sely' or 'seely' meaning 'happy'. Want to do something silly today?

  1. I have a 4 year old black lab named Pepper. I know I need and enjoy it as much as she does. I am glad to hear about bringing some play into our lives.

    Also wanted to say how much I liked your insights into the practice of writing small stones.(Over on Fionas WOWH blog)

    I especially liked your observation of how sometimes your writing "... speaks to me in a different voice when I come back to it at a later date."

    Hope your new year is going well.

Consolidation & Simplification

Since January 2020 all my work - haiku writing, poetry, prose, imaginative and non-fiction writing - has been posted on my website   Lynne Rees .  Please feel free to share anything from this archive, or my main site, but I'd be grateful if you could credit me as the writer and link back to the source.  Thank you 🙏 Lynne 

forgiving the rain due from Snapshot Press

all this green forgiving the rain (first published by tiny words , 13.3.2008 ) I never thought that one little haiku written in my head while driving along the motorway in the rain would end up being the title of a book... but it is and I am very happy. forgiving the rain, my haibun collection, will be published by Snapshot Press in November 2012. Lovely. Now to find a cover image that will serve the collection well.
