Day of rest declared
Be it today, tomorrow
Even yesterday
I call my haikus “haikuish” because there are so many out there who write them so beautifully that I do not think I should sully their creativity. I do love the form and to play with words though.
I like
thank you muchly
What Boomie said–I like this very much.
thank you Madame, I am pleased that you found it to your liking (lol)
I like your Haikuish post!
do you think I have started a new genre here?
I believe so. It will be all the craze too!
hop aboard
Don’t mind if I do!
I like it too! Plus, every day should be a day of rest (in a perfect world).
would that not be wonderful – maybe we can do a part of each day –
Today is a good day to rest and tomorrow and the next day…..can you tell I’m at the cottage? I like your Haiku, Lou!
That is what you should be doing — ah, cottage life. I tell people I have a cottage in Quebec but have not been to it yet.
I just read your post and love your Haiku quote. Ironically, my post for tomorrow takes this to a further explanation. Glad to know someone thinks like me. You Matter! Smiles, Nancy
Will have to tune in tomorrow to see! It is not a quote though – I made it up, or should I say, I created it (lol).
Hope you don’t mind that I tweeted this. It’s the perfect sentiment for today.
mind, mind? no way – thank you!
I love haiku too! Mine are haikuish though – good idea
then we can get away with a lot
I have used many Haiku in my magazine (Positive Words) over the years but received an email from a Haiku ‘expert’ (and I don’t mean that lightly, she is a master of the true form) telling me she was disappointed that I was using so many Haiku that were not true Haiku. My theory is that we are all trying to produce the best we can, not everything is a prize winner or ‘true’ whatever the style but it’s all about everyone having a go. I love ‘Haikuish’ and especially yours
Would you mind if I re-blogged it on my blog?
I would be pleased if you reblogged it. I have studied haikus and found that the form is very forgiving and that it does not have to keep to the 5-7-5. I have books of haikus and I love them–I like to think I am a haiku rebel–but when people take things too seriously, they are taking away someone else’s fun and creativity. I enjoy visiting you blog btw.
Very nice…I just found a new interest in haiku and really enjoy yours. Blessings, Patty
thank you – I love haikus –

Haiku certainly is an art form that fascinates and brings us much joy. I always encourage others to write, read and study those haiku poets that mean something to them. I have found much wisdom along the way and have made so many marvelous haiku friends…. experiences that I treasure and that have nourished me for years.
it is a wonderful way of expressing thoughts, feelings and beauty
Reblogged this on positivewordsmagazine and commented:
I love this approach to Haiku
