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: Annoyance
Going outside today
It’s bright and beautiful! Wow!
(Internet is down)Hold please… sit and wait
Sure the tech is nose picking
Hours of annoyance
Levels of knowledge
Procedure and protocols
All to no good endStaying in today
Wow! Too bright and warm out there…
(Internet is back)*** Please read the 4 simple guidelines above before you post your link – thanks!
Next week’s theme: Conversation
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)!
We’re becoming so dependent on the net, aren’t we?
I can relate to what you are saying!
Glad you are back ‘online’ ~ peaceful week to you ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^

I think I’ll have to pretend my internet is down to force me to go outside & enjoy this beautiful day!
I can see where the prompt came from Jenn = ) sorry your ISP is being a $#%& ((((hugs))))
I enjoyed your haiku.. Glad you got your net back!
Ha, I love the switch up between the first and the last!
Hubby wants, children
Want. I want the annoyance
to go far away.
Business before pleasure is an additional annoyance. Thank you for hosting this fun meme!!
I am hopping into this Sensational Haiku Wednesday. I am not sure my link in the list worked, though hoping it did so!
