Serial Haiku

[Angharad]

It might be fun and interesting to do a variation on Rishi's "Une Lingne Donne" discussion in which three participants will each write a full haiku (rather than a single line) that will end up telling a cohesive haiku "story."

The first person will write a haiku. The second person will hit "reply" to that haiku, copy and paste it in the reply box, then add his or her own haiku. The third person will hit "reply" to the second  offering, copy and paste the first two haiku, then add the third and final haiku.

Three haiku for each completed "story" sounds good to me because it gives the opportunity for a beginning, middle, and end.

I'll begin...

life's joy returning

broken heart resurrected

all because of you

comfort can be found

in unusual places

there for the seeker

life's joy returning

broken heart resurrected

all because of you

 

comfort can be found

in unusual places

there for the seeker

 

seek and ye shall find

behind every hidden door

you wait, arms outstretched

[Angharad]

miracles of joy

unexpected renewal

all things possible

miracles of joy

unexpected renewal

all things possible

bright and beautiful

the future lies before us

golden thoroughfare

brittle cold winds howl
warm breath on windowpane
marks of exhaled love

[metub4]

brittle cold winds howl
warm breath on windowpane
marks of exhaled love

crumpled couch cushions

a long lost scent stirs senses

memories arouse

[Angharad]

brittle cold winds howl
warm breath on chilled windowpanes
marks of exhaled love

crumpled couch cushions
a long lost scent stirs senses
memories aroused

i dream of your touch
your strong arms enfolding me
quiet as the snow

[metub4]

heavy snow enters

winds blow strong from the northwest

hunker down for while

[Angharad]

heavy snow enters

winds blow strong from the northwest

hunker down for while

time for cuddling

warm before the roaring fire

while the storm rages
