Tiny Journal

Poetry Friday/Tiny Journal/Senryu

The joy of tiny handmade things! This poem is nestled into a tiny junk journal with – one cute staple to hold it together.

Today’s poem is a Senryu which uses the form of Haiku, but is more about human nature vs. the natural world. Although a Senryu is often satirical, it of course can be about whatever you’d like.

This is how I felt this morning:

Small things remembered

a kiss, morning dew, sunrise

gently holding hands

The cover of the tiny journal is a folded “old school” library card. It currently lives inside a larger journal in a little mesh pocket. It never gets old when I turn the page of the larger journal, to reread and rediscover the tiny treasures tucked inside.

I’m thinking of calling this size journal a “little darling.” This may be especially appropriate today as Mona @ MonaVoelkel is hosting Poetry Friday. Her Sandcastle poem uses “darling” through out:) Check out her beautiful poem and other wonderful poetry Friday poems linked on her blog.

Happy creating:) Jill
