S for Storytime in the Blogging from A to Z challenge. My focus is on online jewellery collections.
My initial idea about online jewellery collections as a theme was this: To pick a piece of jewellery and write a story around it.
At some point my survival instinct hit in and told me that this would mean a lot of preparation, and I should start writing well in time. This would require research into different historical events and eras. Plus the writing. Times 26.
I abandoned the idea, but I still want to try it a tiny bit, so here we go. Please accept a humble attempt in haiku format:
We thought we’d lost them
Grandma’s blue eyes on a string
Gone the memories
Deep down in a box
Confused, moved, then back again
VERA’S “BLUE”, then tears
Great idea. Maybe you can tell your stories after the Challenge is finished and without the time pressure.
That’s an idea, actually, I’ll think about that, thank you!
Love this haiku and the phrase ‘Grandma’s blue eyes on a string…’ and the necklace looks very precious too, I think it’s a wonderful idea to do a story around jewellery collection and perhaps this could be a theme for next year??? 🙂
Well, if I decide now, I would have enough time to prepare it! I think it would be a great way to learn a lot as well. But first finish this round, still a few tricky ones coming up… Thanks for your encouraging words!
Really love your haiku G ….
Touching .
Thank you! It was the handwriting on the box that pulled my imagination in a certain direction. Funny how it goes…
