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: Home
Very far from home
Warmth missing, comforts lacking
Sleep in my own bed
Comfy leather chair
Coffee mug that feels just so
Familiar smells
Travel; wonderful
Horizons expand your mind
But no place like homeWhere you hang your hat.
Common denominator
Grounding. Roots. Home base.
Folks, a quick note about comments: A few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case. Take a moment to enable that, will you? There are other ways to combat spam and still allow people with their own domains to leave their homage to your greatness ;)
Next week’s theme: Weary
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 (if you’re not listed and should be, please [politely] let me know!)
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 love your home, I’m moving in girl! = ) I cannot see the linky so I’ll leave a link to mine here as well!

love your cozy haikus =)
makes me anticipate fall all the more!
Wonderful haikus as usual! There is no place like home, indeed :)!
Lovely haiku!
Thanks for inspiring one of my Sundry Haiku!
I always bring my pillow when I travel. Yet at home, I don’t get all neurotic when I get a new pillow. My husband laughs at me.
I have many “homes,” and I would hang my hat in all of them–if I had a hat! :-)
I’m sooooooooo looking forward to next week’s theme: WEARY. In fact, I’m already there!
Don’t you just love the feeling of your favorite coffee mug in your hand? I enjoyed these.
Hope you’re having a great week. I enjoy reading your Haiku’s, can’t seem to pick a favorite because they are all so true. Thanks again for the inspiration.
going home today
My Boy was nearly run down
I hate bad drivers
You wouldn’t be normal if you didn’t hate them! :-)
I’m glad you reported him, too!
Only just started writing haiku and finding it fascinating and great fun.
Welcome aboard, Mike! Glad to have you with us :)
love your haiku, Jenn. there really is no place like home, is there? have a great weekend.

oh.. SHW is a full week now too? cool. I tht I missed the deadline & linky would be closed. be back soon with a haiku :)
It’s not supposed to be, Leo! It’s a combination of wanting to accommodate those living all around the world, and complete laziness on my part. I usually close it on Sundays now, to make some room for the new week :)
I so much appreciate your keeping the Linky open longer, Jenn. I’m REALLY having fun with “home”!
I noticed, haha! I think from now on I’ll set it to automatically close Sunday night at midnight (EST). Sound fair?
Couldn’t help but submit a second one.
Awesome, Mike :)
My first submission here…thanks for having a wonderful place to inspire writing
