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: Sojourn
Sojourn – a tough prompt
Having faith in all of you
Know you can do it! ;)Life; a brief sojourn
Cosmic insignificance
Problems? Perspective!
Traveling sojourn
Immerse yourself in cultures
Expanding your mindSojourn of the mind
Pages yellowing with age
The classic novel*** Please read the 4 simple guidelines above before you post your link.
₪ Next week’s theme: Commit(-ted, -ting, etc.) ₪
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)!
Enjoyed your haiku. And I love an old classic, too.
Good prompt..enjoyed reading yours and writing! :)
You really have been busy. Welcome back!
I did it! Posted
a 3-stanza haiku on
my blog today. Yay!
Lovely haiku ~ contemplative and real ~ (A Creative Harbor)
I am skipping this week. Too much other big stuff going on for me. Hugs!
Loved your post about being a dodgy blogger. That is me to a T right now. Great to ‘see’ you again though!
I currently wish
for a sojourn to the shore
waves provide escape
I love the imagery the word “sojourn” conjures!
really interesting prompt but I did not come out with much though. I truly enjoyed yours.
hugs
shakira
all of the above….love the ‘cosmic insignificance’…..good one to remember when the human race is feeling full of themselves!
I just love the second and third! I admit this one was tough, but a challenge is good!
Great haiku! The second one is my favorite!
that was a tough one, but my camp nano takes me out of this week, possibly next as well…
as i sojourn through
the journey of a new book
pages come alive!
