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: Inhibition(s)
Arrive unannounced
Play havoc with your dream life
Scurry off come mornCan you sense my thoughts
When I gaze so intently
And quietly smile…?The social taboo
Wildly inhibited
Like breath, too long heldFor just one sweet day
Show off my inhibitions?
Not bloody likely!Eye contact; a thrill
Cast off your inhibitions…
and finally see.
Next week’s theme: antique: Courtesy of Quilly!
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

I enjoyed your subtle hints at inhibitions :O)
I will visit Friday if not before. In the throes of preparing for Thanksgiving.
I’m here for the first time even though I love haiku and have written many. I enjoyed coming up with a haiku for this week’s theme of “Inhibition”–I know this feeling well. :)
I apologize–I didn’t add the link from here to my posting. :(
Hi there, thanks for joining us! You still have time to add the link back to participate :)
I will be by later tonite to check out everyone’s poems.
The stanza with “not bloody likely” is the one that resonates with me!
I see that participation in Sensational Haiku Wednesday is down, down, down. How disappointing! What do you think we can do about that, Jenn–short of forcing writers at gunpoint? :-)
I know! I’m disappointed, but short of spending a ton of time (that I honestly don’t have) running around inviting people from all over and haunting those who are missing, I don’t know what else to try. Any ideas?
Oh yes, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Thank you for doing this nice meme.
Lets go find a flash mob today! Mine will be at Luby’s with Mrs. Jim, Jenna and her friend, Sean, and the waitstaff.
..
I’m in, but I might be late. Mostly because I don’t know where Luby’s is, and I’m in Canada. ;)

The “Oh yes” comment above was to comment on my previous comment that didn’t ‘comment.’
In it I had mentioned to you how much I enjoyed your nice set of haiku verses. Casting off inhibitions is a dream of, I’d say, over ninety percent of the people. Also that is why a lot have a few glasses of wine. “Every little sip helps!” :)
..
I’m not participating in Haiku Wednesday this week. My time wardens have nixed this for me. I do plan for it next week.
..
Sorry so late. I know it is closed but I wrote a Haiku anyway.
