There in the blue sky,
A flock of doves making notes
Writing melodies.
These birds looked to me a little like a piece of written music as they wheeled overhead. Far to difficult for my hands to play.
Welcome to TJ’s weekly haiku challenge,
The prompt words for this week are “Melody and blue”. You can use either the prompt words or the picture as an inspiration for your own haiku post and share a link to your prompt in the comments (press the little black speech bubble.)
Last week the prompt was “Arch and Tree” and inspired some wonderful haiku.
Two on a Rant combined light and seasons in this clever haiku.

But I Smile Anyway has the perfect haiku for the image. A truly great final line.

As soon as I saw the prompt words I had an idea of what to write – only you beat me to it and did a better job than I would have done! I shall see what else I can come up with! 🙂
