Sensational Haiku Wednesday
Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”
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!)
Here are the rules:
- Structure: While Haiku may be written by some in other styles, for THIS meme only 5-7-5 is acceptable. At least one of your haiku must be in this format.
- Theme/Prompt: We have a new prompt each week, and your haiku needs to be related to it, if not include the actual word in it. Feel free to leave a word suggestion in a comment!
- Linking: When you post your link, link to the blog post with your haiku, not to the main page of your blog.
- Reciprocate: If you participate and post your link on my website, you must have a link back here on your post. It’s only fair.
Folks not complying with the above risk having their links removed. Don’t make me be all “Grrrr” and stuff, it makes me grumpy! Thanks for your cooperation!
P.S. This is a really busy time for me – I may not get around to everyone each week. Sorry about that, but unfortunately I need to attend to business before pleasure!
This week’s theme is: Natural
Natural woman
First song that ran through my head
Ear worm! You’re welcome.
Natural highlights
Surely a phenomenon
Reserved for the young
Sing Nature’s praises
Colour and beauty abound
Gently tilled garden
Goes down on Tuesday…
Worst ISP in country
Thankful for iPhone!Happy 4th of July to my American friends!
We had a wonderful July 1st celebration on Sunday at our place near Toronto – best fireworks EVER!
*** Please read the 4 simple guidelines above before you post your link.
Next week’s theme: Heat
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 ;)
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):
You can also choose to use only a text link, or either of these additional images I made for your use! Use This one (dark), or This one (light)!
Great variety of “natural” perspectives! Aren’t fireworks displays so magical!
Naturally good haiku.
Mother Nature – the wisest among all…
Nice prompt!
I especially liked “Sing Nature’s Praises…” A lovely haiku!

Sorry for the double mention of my link — first one was an old link. :( I’ll do better next time.
Nice series today, Jenn..
Fun set….love the idea of ‘ear worm’ …
It’s perfectly natural that your ISP went down, you must have sorely needed to use the Internet and it sensed that!
