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: Belong(-ing)
It takes just a hand
And your genuine, warm smile
To know I belongLaughing eyes twinkle
Warmth of your arms around me
Contented, sharingTogether, apart
Wherever we seem to be
We are always us
Next week’s theme: Food (you’re welcome, ShaMoo)
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 I’ve done sort of a Blog tied to the Haiku. I’m hoping it meets ShaMoo’s approval for blogs entered…. :)
also, and I don’t know why, but you have to hit the ‘calendar date’ to access my entry. Then you have to hit the ‘Title’ to see the entry.. Some day I’ll get the hang of it.. Anyway Good-night all…
Have a joyous week
Knarf. :)
I fixed it :) Great job, Knarf!
It’s always so interesting to see the different perspectives on that one little word. Thanks, Jenn.
