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: Weary

    Fighting with myself
    Always doing the right thing
    Drains my energy!

Random naughty thoughts
Where the heck did that come from??
Too weary to fight…

    Out of my dreams please
    No business invading there!
    Holy smokes I’m tired

What are you thinking?
That I’m one step away from…
Nope. Stronger than that!

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 ;)

Next week’s theme: School

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 (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):

Drat, drat, drat!!

Drat, drat and DOUBLE DRAT!! Sorry for posting a way-in-advance haiku earlier! Don’t read it!!! :)

I hate that the rss feed is so instant, because it was published for literally 3 seconds before I caught it!

Anyone know of a way to prevent the RSS feed from being that instant? I’d LOVE to hear about it, because clearly I keep doing this and probably will do it again.

Anyway… I’ve been writing and scheduling because I anticipate I’ll be pretty busy over the coming weeks, and don’t want to get so burnt out that I forget to write and publish our weekly haiku! This will also give me some leeway on other posts, which I haven’t been doing lately. It’s summer time, and along with working my usual long hours, I’ve got 2 kids driving me nuts hanging out and in need of mental stimulation.

Tomorrow I think we’ll take a run to Hungry Hollow to hunt for fossils – Wee One has never done that, and The Teen suggested we go again, because it was so much fun the last time we went, when she was the wee one.

Hope you’re all enjoying your summer!

The basics:

This week’s theme is: Home

    Very far from home
    Warmth missing, comforts lacking
    Sleep in my own bed

Comfy leather chair
Coffee mug that feels just so
Familiar smells

    Travel; wonderful
    Horizons expand your mind
    But no place like home

Where you hang your hat.
Common denominator
Grounding. Roots. Home base.
