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: Paradox (Definition)

    Life and happenstance
    Harbinger of happy change
    Fear of the unknown

Twinkle, laughter, love
Withheld and kept at arm’s length
Paradox: Blue eyes

    Excitement in change
    Certainty in knowing course
    Fearful of changing

Warmth. Inclusion. Love
Paradigm and Paradox
Cold separation

Folks, a quick note about comments: I do visit everyone, but a few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case (and prefer not to have to email). 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 ;)

Next week’s theme: Growth

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):

    This prompt nearly stumped me–until I figured out I could use “paradox” as the title for my haiku!
