Home is a feeling
Of comfort and belonging
I found it within…
Safar over at Blisters, Bunions & Blarney came up with a Haiku Challenge. The baton is being passed down the line – from Calen to Jane and now to Raili…..Raili has so kindly passed the baton to me……Id like to invite Gradmama2011 to join in. I hope you do!!! 😊
The way it works is:
Person 1 (Safar)
1. Create a haiku – no constraints
2. Pick a person to create the next link in the chain.
3. Person 2 (Calensariel)
Person 2 (Calensariel)
1. Create a haiku with one constraint
2. The first word of the haiku you create is the last word of the previous haiku
3. Pick a person to create the next link in the chain
Persons 3-20
1. Repeat the instructions for Person 2
Person 21 (that’ll be the last person in the chain)
1. Create a haiku with two constraints
2. The first word of the haiku you create is the last word of the previous haiku.
3. The last word of the haiku you create is first word of the first haiku in the chain.
And so the circle is closed.
A couple of ‘rules’ so that we get to keep track of the links in the chain:
When you participate, you agree that others are able to share your haiku, using the credits and the link back to the post that you provide.
Post all previous haiku on your blog, including all the credits and links provided. Add your haiku to the chain.
Credit yourself, and include a link back to your post. You might need to edit your post and add the link in retrospect.
Create a link back to this post.
Have fun!!
OH! And if you’d like to join in, please leave a note in the comments!
So shall we see how far we can get??? Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mountain of paper noodles,
earthworm fodder to
keep mycelium
(Safar Fiertze…Blisters Bunions and Blarney)
running down life’s path
many trails beckon my heart;
which one leads to me
(Calen….Impromptu Promptlings)
me and the old oak
communicate silently
at one with the earth
earth a pearl of blue
hidden in the shell of space
the pearl is my home
(Raili…Souls Gifts)

Finding your home within…. You have been working so hard with your mindfulness meditation and your words reflect that.
Thank you Bernadette! I don’t think it was coincidence that home was my starting word 😊
Awesome 🙂 And you certainly have found it and settled right in !
😊😊😊😊
Gosh, I’m loving how this is developing. I’ve been working on the idea of a finding the guardian angel, or my goddess within and how perfect to find home within. So many experience that difficulty of finding peace within themselves. Thank you for joining in!
😊😊😊😊 happy to have joined in Safar!!!
It is so awesome to me how three lines of a poem can say so much, speak such truth. This is just beautiful!!!
Thanks so much C!!! 😊😊😊 Kudos to Raili for giving me the opportunity to join in with ‘home’ ❤️
That’s a great haiku – your peaceful aura comes across with such clarity.
