Sensational Haiku Wednesday
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!
This week’s theme is: Silhouette
I see a little
Silhouetto of a man
…Queen can fandango!Musical genius
Two silhouettes on the shade
Nylons rock my world
Cast please, no shadows
Your silhouette leave pristine
It is all I haveStark reality
Nothing hidden, sharp edges
Shadows lay within
Next week’s theme: Craft
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)!
I like the Queen reference, I’d forgotten about that possibility!
You’ve got me singing in a most Bohemian way.
Lovely haiku!

Queen was my first though also!!
Awesome, Jenn! Love the Queen reference. Seems I’ve fallen off the wagon pretty quickly, what with heading back to school and all…will do my best to pick up again next week. :)
I like the one about the nylons!..Jenn, I am still having trouble linking the first time..and even then..I must have the steps confused…
