Have you ever played the game “Taboo?” You get a word, and you have to make your partner say the word, but in doing so, there will be several “forbidden” words. They are usually the words you’d use most often, or derivatives of the given word, things like that, just so it won’t be too easy. That’s what is on my mind today as I write this post with the “letter of the week.” How many ways are there to make you say the forbidden letter, dear readers? Probably more than exist in my little brain, but I will try to make two haiku-type poems (I’m not sure they are “true” haiku), evoking two different ways to think of this letter.
Waltzing in and out
She whispers to a sailor
Ashore, his wife waits.
pupils gather sunlight
vision breaks a dream.
Those are two great haikus (ok I don’t really know anything about haikus, 6th grade is far away now) but I did not realise at all that it was the letter C.

Bummer! Perhaps the meaning is too hidden, but I meant for the first one to be the word “sea” and the second, the word “see.”

Visiting from the A to Z Road Trip – I haven’t heard of this challenge before, and it would certainly be challenging not to be able to use the letter C. I do enjoy writing haikus – I used to do it a lot when I was a teenager.

Those are beautiful Haikus — you should write them more often, you’re really good at writing little poems like that 🙂

Le premier évoque le mot “sea” et the deuxième, le mot “see”…j’espère ! Si non, c’est parce que je ne suis pas une vraie poétesse !
