Persistence - haiku...

I tried and I tried

to hang on to what I had.

sanity slippery.

 

This Haiku Monday is hosted by Serendipity.

She chose "persistence" for this week's theme.

Visit her blog to read all the entries

Haiku Winner...

So many entries and so many variations on the theme.
I was tempted by several so I took a break and came back
this afternoon to read again with fresh eyes and rested
brain. One stood out as the one which most framed what
had been in my head...

Color arises,
though ground is hard, dry as bone.
Rock garden rainbow.

Thank you, Serendipity!
The photo she used for illustration is beautiful, too.

Serendipity will be next week's host for Haiku Monday.

All of you who took the time to create and enter your
haiku are wonderful, talented and thoughtful.
Bless you all.

Haiku Monday - metallic sound...

wind chime music played
by soft finger breeze drifting
through the open porch.

This week's Haiku Monday is hosted by
Serendipity
who came up with a most unique topic:
'metallic sound'.
The variety of haiku for this is impressive.
Add yours to the collection.

Haiku Monday energy/energize...

intimidation
takes the wind from people's sails.
floating dull adrift.

First deep breath in the
morning. Yawn and stretch and smile.
Let the day begin!

I found a haiku contest through Boxer's blog.
