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: Future
Errant dreams… far fetched
May come true, tho’ likely not
Keep moving forward
Next week’s theme: Secrets
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
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 hope this poem is not depressing. It’s not meant to be. It’s meant to show that life happens …that circumstances occur that will severely change our dreams or future. In essence, that a momentous event, or events, will upset the outcome of the ‘plans’ that got us to a specific point in our life’s journey… But also the poem is meant to show that life does go on …definitely in a different ‘planning’ direction …but still goes on. It’s what you make of it from that point on that will now count…

God bless and keep safe and well…especially to my dear friends Jenn, ShaMoo and J-B….
Wow, Knarf….you brought tears to my eyes with the intro, nevermind the haiku. These are incredible…. Big hugs :)
Jenn, love your haiku as well! Nicely done ;)
So true my friend. This is a winner!! As for your theme bleak? Nope. Think Gotham City. My bad this week. LOL. :)
I”m in. I know mine are too long, but I get on a roll and can’t stop. I liked this one.
You and I were thinking along the same lines but I was a tad more shamelessly boastful.
Wasn’t sure where I wanted to go, but came up with something! And how many far-fetched dreams have I had in my life….too many to count!
Good day, our Haiku friends. Here’s a few penned lines from the j-b, and I hope you will like reading them in the future! :)
[Jenn Edit: Moved to Brain Fart!]
Have a great week everyone; see you in a couple! j-b
Jenn:
“Errant dreams . . . far fetched” Deep, sister.
Yes, we keep moving forward!
Cheers,

Beautiful, beautiful words! I love your spirited haiku. Have a wonderful week :)
… and of course, thanks for hosting this meme again :)
Thanks for hosting this meme. I just found you through Nessa. I love haiku and so glad to find some folks who share my insanity!
i love this week’s theme! maybe because i can relate to it as i have so many fears regarding the future. so i tried to talk myself out of those fears.
you succinctly wrote it the way i wanted to express it. perfect!!! =)
let’s all keep on moving forward!
entered one, thanks!
My first time here; though I have been writing regularly at Haiku Heights
Hope to be a regular here too.
Love Haikus!!
story of my life too!!!
Love the word ‘errant.’ Nicely done, as usual.
I’ll be back soon, promise :)
I wrote about dreams that can’t come true if I am too fearful to pursue them. We both need some confidence!
Hi. I don’t know if I am timely or not, but I thought I would jump in anyway. I posted haiku on the future (http://beginningpoetry.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/tomorrow/). I hope to post something on secrets on the coming Wednesday. I look forward to reading and sharing. – Bill

I’m ba-ack (home from Quebec City, and Montreal, Canada)!
I do hope all your good dreams come true.
