Inspired by the theme at
Today paper boat is the prompt. A lovely one and it brings sweet memories. As I have told earlier in one of my posts for Haiku Heights I learned about haiku through a colleague of mine when I was learning for being a teacher. She was an origami artist and she brought me the Japanese haiku. Since that day I am a haiku addict and I write haiku right from my heart. So paper boat has to be a good one to write a haiku on.
Let's go do some haiku writing (smiles).
fountain of joy
children playing with paper boats
one sunny day
one sunny day
I folded paper boats with my grandsons
ah! what a joy
ah! what a joy
to see the paper boats sailing
to the horizon
to the horizon
paper boats sailing away
children's laughter
children's laughter
when their paper boats sail
fountain of joy

These truly exude the joy of childhood! Lovely.
Folding paper boats with my grandchildren is really fun and of course we had try them in water. They 'sailed' away for a moment and than ... sank to the bottom of the fountain. It was really fun
Thank you all for the nice words you sprinkle on me.
