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: Revisit

    A happier time
    Thoughts to revisit are quelled
    Memories remain

Revisit the past
Alas, time changes all things
Can’t go home again

    An uncertainty
    Decisions revisited
    Second guessing game

Dwelling on the past
No point in revisiting
Let go and move on

*** Please read the 4 simple guidelines above before you post your link.

₪ Next week’s theme: Traditional (about nature)

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)!

Jumping back into the fire

Written By: Jenn - Jan• 10•13

Last year was a rough one for my blog.

I’ve been at this for a few years now, and for whatever reason, I hit a mental wall and it stopped me from writing in here. It became a chore, and, like most people, chores are not something I enjoy. For a long time I completely ignored it except for keeping up with the Sensational Haiku meme. Even that suffered though, because I found I had less and less time to visit and comment on participant posts, and that pisses people off gets to be a little irksome for those who faithfully comment on mine. Understood, and… sorry about that. I’m sure I’ve lost a lot of readers as a result of blog-apathy!

Now that I’ve had my break, I feel like it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Of course SHW will continue, and I’ll have a lot more to write about too.

Looking forward…

This week’s theme is: Photograph

    Your life in a shot
    Photographs for the youngsters
    A lasting memoir

Camera panic
Point it away from me please!
I’d rather take it

    Envy those who smile
    Know the camera loves them
    Me? Rarely good ones

Perhaps self image
In need of developing
Something to ponder…

Let’s see if the Linky publishes this time… if not, I’ll check first thing in the morning, and get it set up. I have no idea why suddenly it gets stripped out every week when I schedule a post. *sigh*
