Sensational Haiku Wednesday
Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”
Click here for info and background on this weekly event!
The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)
This week’s theme is: Contemplation
The way things are now
Perhaps not how I’d prefer
But probably best.
Next week’s theme: Chocolate
Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List
To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):
Well here I am again! Stuck in a rut! I can’t think of anything to contemplate about …well…except something about my navel…
Here I sit thinking!
Of the word contemplation,
My mind is a blank.
And why should that be?
I think to myself once more.
Again draw a blank.
With my eyes squeezed tight,
I emulate ‘The Thinker’.
Tumbleweed bounce by.
Like a barren plain,
The wind blows unhindered,
Nothing emerges.
How to beat ShaMoo?
Bet she’ll have something profound.
Guess try to be first.
Embarrassing though;
Not having something witty,
Or a profound thought.
(As a side note: I wanted to use the line “my mind too is bare” after the line “I emulate ‘The Thinker’ ….but I thought it might upset some… ;) so took a different direction. But, that would have been witty had I used it. Oh well. )… Have a great summer all…
that’s an awesome haiku epic poem! They say to meditate you must clear your mind – so maybe you should have done meditation.
hahaha Knarf! These are great :D Witty is never a problem for you.
Hrm, you never write about me or J-B. Should we be jealous??
Jenn, he never writes about you guys because you’ve never made him turkey dinner!! Mwahahaha…..get on that, would ya? Nice job, btw Knarf!! First this week….hmmmm; I’ve slipped yet again ;) Okay, here we go:
Which dessert to have?
The cheesecake or the brulee?
Pfffft, just order both :)
Was there any doubt what I’d write about?? Seriously, people…. Have a great week, everyone; hopefully you’re all having fabulous weather like we are!!
ShaMoo
Of course just order both – hmm cheesecake and creme brulee – yummy!
But we’ve both made him other dinners! Ok, yummy but perhaps not as fabulous as your turkey extravaganza… We’ll have to work on that.
I’m shocked that you’d write about food… NOT. ;) Well done, and very YOU!
In that scenario –
I’d make hubby order one, while I order the other – so I can taste both!
Keep thinking. There might be better. But then again there might be worse. Nawh. Always better. Love the haiku. Have a great Wednesday. :)
Over-thinking is usually what gets me INto trouble, Thom ;)
Welcome to my club :)
These definitely get easier as you go along…..at least for me as long as I don’t try to get too lengthy with them. Maybe later. At least I remembered this week.
Happy to have you back again! :D
Sometimes what we prefer is not what is best. I’ve learned that lesson before!
Exactly! :D
Jenn…your haiku is quite profound and speaks volumes of truth! Nice!
Thanks Polly! :)
Absolutely! I know that sometimes when things don’t work out the way I’d hoped, most of the time I look back and all is right with the world. Nice Haiku!
Michelle
Hmm I wonder what your haiku refers to. Very contemplative indeed, I hope it is the best for you.
Have a great week,
Jade
It probably is, Jade! Fate often saves me from myself ;)
very contemplative, sometimes we have to trust that everything will work out for the best…. Yes?
(((((hugs)))))
For sure :)
Wow! This one pretty much says it all!
I love how you are often so serious & thoughtful and I am a ridiculous goof.
Psychoanalysis for $500, Alex.
:)
Steph, sometimes I may seem serious, but my “inner circle” knows that what I’m talking about has other connotations. Or… sometimes I’m as you see me. WYSIWYG… the trick is to figure out which is which! ;)
No time for Haiku,
but plenty of tine to think
during long walk home.
this haiku of yours summarizes my present life situation… excellent, jenn!
I think, think and think
and yet can’t think a good think
my thinker broken?
Shall I do it or
will I miss out just waiting
better live than regret
