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: Addiction
Haiku addiction
Not a difficult problem
Just use your fingers!Do you know the date
That we have one hundred weeks?
May 25th… Wooot!!
Our constant laughter
So much a part of my life
Miss you, Addiction :)Is it always bad?
Addiction can be happy
For the lucky few
Folks, a quick note about comments: I do visit everyone (usually a day or so after due to my schedule), 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: Spontaneity (don’t you love it when I give you a 5 syllable word??)
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):
glad you have this space
Hey Jenn, I saw the Hooked on Haiku list, my name is repeated twice :) once as Leo and once as Vinay (Leo). You can remove the latter, I’m back to my pen name itself. Cheers!
Well you have the 2 blogs, so I’m ok leaving you in there as both :) You’re not the only one, actually!
Oh ok! No probs! :)
I thought SHW ended on Thursday night sometime, so I included addicted to the new haiku/senryu I tried today.
Since linky is closed, I thought I’d share the link anyways :)
Unhealed Haiku/Senryu
I had more time to myself this week – the only reason I’ve been closing it really late the last while is because I’ve been too busy to get to it. Plus I know it makes one Haiku-er really happy to be able to post last minute stuff ;) I could set it to close automagically at a specific time, but I like to do it when I’m fairly certain we’re all on board :)
Thank you for hosting – here is my entry for this week!
Addiction is Bliss :D
addictions can be real fun, just like you said- our haiku addiction :)
Chocolate oh yuck
Chocolate I’m hating you
Chocolate get lost.
First thing at day break
Last thing before bed at night
‘Pute on all day long.
We are the same person! :D
Sorry, I posted mine for Spontaneity a week early. But as you can see, some things can’t wait, LOL!

Will be back if I can think of an Addition poem. Like I can’t write on that topic… anyway… Amy
OK, amended post to include an addiction poem. Man, what a morning!

So true. Addiction sometimes has a negative connotation for the most part, and your writing brings to light the positive aspects in a humorous, loving way. Getting addicted to hobbies is a fantastic way to stay sane. Everything in moderation, easier said then done.
Another great post. Another great week ahead to you!
Haiku hankering
mixed with lim’rick addiction —
housework haitus.
My latest latest Limerick-Off challenge is here.
Good one!! :-)
Sorry about the spelling — that should be “hiatus” – just like “haiku,” except reversed. :)

Love your haikus – especially the beautiful feeling in the 2nd last one!
