TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge – Tile

This old deflt tile from the 18th Century was a cool find for a mere $2 at the local car boot sale.

For three hundred years

Displayed in the fireplace

This dried arrangement

The prompt for this week is “Tiles”. How little thought do we give to an item that has been a vital part of houses since ancient times.

Can you compose a haiku about them? “Tiles” could refer to a specific tile design, their use, their colour…anything that strikes your fancy. All contributions are featured in next week’s challenge.

I found a tile inspired haiku on Pour une seul note which Ada kindly allowed me to share here if you would like to see some beautiful tiles and a great French haiku.
