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: Homecoming
Travel, see the world!
But… still something about home.
It’s where your stuff is.
Next week’s theme: Comfort
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):
I found this Haiku a bit hard to do. I think it was because ‘Homecoming’ can relate to so many annual celebratory events re-uniting people (Class reunions, annual Fraternity gatherings, etc). In my case I thought more of the festive time and gathering around Thanksgiving or Christmas…

You did great as always, Knarf! I moved it to where it should be :P
Well done, Knarf. You keep the bar so high, how can we measure up? Cheers, my friend. See you soon! j-b

This was another fun one, Jenn. Mine is sad this week but it was still fun getting it to be as good as I could make it.
Just in case Mr. Linky stays absent mine is up and running.

I like this, Jenn. Of course most of us have too much ‘stuff’ at our homes. :)
Still it is what we like to have, plus there is some more we like but don’t have yet.
..
I noticed that I forgot to switch the Mr. Linky code about 15 mins in – its fixed now, and I added you!
Isn’t it also suppose to be where the heart is? I’ve always wondered where that comes into play cuz my heart is in my body. Oh well. pffft. Your Haiku is so true. It’s nice to visit but even better to get home, regardless if you have stuff there or not. But the most important thing to get back to is your own damn bed LOL. Have a great SHW xoxox
I’m all linked up. There was so many directions to go in with this one. I went with what was near and dear to my heart.
Ah, yes. Home, sweet home! There IS something about home. :)
Well, the j-b is back in town and ready to get back on-line with Haiku Wednesday. A little out of practice, so this week’s offering is somewhat shaky. A tad “rusty”, I guess. But not steamy, anyway!!

Welcome home, J-B! Missed you!
Not steamy?? I dunno about that…
your haiku says it all for me… all my stuff are there so i’m going back. what a defining moment! i love your haiku, jenn. =)
well said. familiarity breeds content.
Alright, I know I’m supposed to somehow use the force and make this appear on the other site but considering that I can’t even figure out how to link my post to the box above?? Well….it’s not gonna happen today. Baby steps, girlfriend ;)
[edit by Jenn: And yet… somehow it magically appeared on the other site… strange… ;)]

If I remembered
every Wednesday as
I should, I’d enter.
This was a hard prompt–which was why it took me so long to post today!
Home, O Canada,
One day I’ll go back to visit
flights are expensive.
Broot, very cute it gave me a laugh!
I made it! Wednesday still has 4 hours in my part of the world!
Oh, and that “something about home” … it’s also where the job is that makes all that wonderful travel possible.
Came home to my friend.
I met her years ago but
She’s always the same.
Kate and Anne, Betsy,
Sharon,and more, waiting on
The bookshelf for me.
Very sweet Cathy!
Thank you! Those darned books have been bugging me to get into a haiku for weeks.
Cathy, with friends like those you can cuddle up with them all
and still be legal. You’ll feel good about yourself too! :)
..
So true haiku, indeed. As pleasant as traveling can get, I always miss home at the end. Have a wonderful week.
LOL. I didn’t realize that I was beginning to confuse the syllables in my haikus. Thanks for taking them, Jenn :) . But I’m going to work on it :) . Have a wonderful week.
Exactly!
There were so many nice haiku for this prompt. Yours is another.
