Lonely Haiku Friday

Haiku Friday

Where are the 'ku-ers
to fill up Mister Linky
with five-sev'n-five verse?

Onto Mount Haiku
the lonely hostess doth climb,
out of breath at top,

taking but a glance
at the reams of prose 'round her,
she seeks the rare 'ku

that can make her laugh
or quite take her breath away
with subtle beauty


Would you like to haiku today? To participate in Haiku Friday, just follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. It or they can be part or all of your post, but your post must include a haiku. What's a haiku, you ask? Hint: 3 lines, and count syllables, 5-7-5. The best haiku evoke a feeling of place or emotion. (Unlike mine which are often factual.) More info: Click here. Or here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). Don't sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Please leave a comment after linking, thanks! (Eventually the Mr Linky links go away, I think, so they only way we'll find you in the future is via your comment.)

4. if you'd like, pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top of this post.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week.

I have wondered too
where the Haiku crowd has gone ...
glad that YOU'RE still here ;-)

Ya know I share Haiku in almost every post on each of my blogs but I do miss reading the haiku of others on Fridays.

Just a simple one this week:
