| Haiku: Dolls In Spring And On Thin Ice |
A Doll's day
Dressed for the Parade
Springs to life...
Today, the words are: Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival), Haru Ichiban (First Spring Gust), Usurai (Thin Ice)
What is Carpe Diem? Blog Owner, Kristjaan Panneman, describes it as: "a weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"

In the doll house, we see our desires standing in line, waiting to be fulfilled. :-)
Dolls and doll houses bring back many fond memories, gusts of them long gathered and tucked away in the depths of our heart.
I still love dolls and doll houses. Brings back innocence and childhood
The doll is cute! I have some doll collection myself. ;) But I've kept them away because I have boys. LOL
why am I afraid of the doll's face. huhu. :/
The doll was so cute. I remember one of my aunts has a dancing doll. My sister was really afraid when it started to dance.
Dolls remind me of my childhood. My sister and I always have the same doll. Now, we both have a true doll. Our babies =)

i was into dolls when i was young.. sometimes its creepy especially at night..hehehe
I also like dolls, good thing I have a very valid excuse to have them again, my daughter. hehe
agree with meikah, the doll is a cutie
The quote and haiku about Thin Ice have a very deep meaning. I consider the 'thin ice' to be struggles in life that we courageously conquer each day.
The dress of the doll is so vintage-ish. I love it :)
Dolls scare me. I was never fond of dolls but I love the haiku. Thanks for sharing.
