Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Haiku:
haiku chooses you
measures snippets of your life
distills your essence
It’s Haiku Friday again. For the past twenty years or so, it has been my practice to write one haiku every day. Every Friday I share a haiku here, about whatever topic I happen to choose. I invite you to write a haiku on this topic too, and share it with me and the readers of this blog. Just write it in the Comments below. The only rules are: 1) your haiku must be about the named topic; 2) you must follow the 5-7-5 syllable format; 3) no obscenities or hate (I will delete those). That’s it.
At the end of each month I’ll gather up the haikus in the “Haiku Comments” that meet the criteria and pick one at random in a drawing, and send the winner of the drawing one of my e-books: your choice of Haiku for the Seasons I, or Haiku for the Seasons II.

Some words provoke thoughts
other than their true meaning:
*”H a i K U”* ………gesundheit!

insight and a dive
abrupt cut to heart of chase

I loved both these haiku … Samantha, yours made me giggle, and Linda — the sense of movement in your haiku blew me away. Even if I didn’t know you were a “horse person” I would have suspected it by reading this poem. Wow.
