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: Courage
A spirit’s journey
Infinite scenarios
Into the unknownAgainst all advice
Disregarding little voice
Doing what is right
Step into the light
Look around, it’s your moment
Breathe, then sing it outCourage in actions
Quintessentially, it’s this;
Raising kids. ‘Nuff said.*** Please read the 4 simple guidelines above before you post your link.
₪ Next week’s theme: Sojourn ₪
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)!
Liked the prompt :-)
Love your haiku, but my favourite must be the first one! Venturing into the unknown is often a strong element of courage!

Great haiku ~ very insightful ~ Raising children is a real challenge ~ ‘time limited’ enjoy (A Creative Harbor)
we all sort of went the same way with this prompt, I think….set was thoughtful, the 1st my favorite, but the last had a great twist!
Absolutely!
Cool prompt, enjoyed writing for it! :)
I enjoyed all of your haiku for this topic, but the last really made me smile.
Doing what is right, no matter the cost, is definitely an act of courage!
