journey
running down life’s path
many trails beckon my heart;
which one leads to me
Safar over at Blisters, Bunions & Blarney has issued me a Haiku Challenge. 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 (Jane at Making it write)
Persons 3-20 (Jane, etc.)
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!

Nothing wrong with slowing down…..stopping mid journey doesn’t cut it!!!!

No, it makes it worse. Yet how many times do we come to that point and have to fight through it… I think that’s Seeker’s problem at the moment.

It’s OK. I’ve done it – it wasn’t easy, but it was fun, and I may post all of my failed attempts afterwards 🙂
Youre haiku is lovely. Doing the last line any other way would probably have ruined it.

Oh very nicely done. Love that last line – which one leads to me? It’s so relevant to the place we’re at. Inspired!!

Ah gee, thanks, hon. I think I probably left Jane in a bit of a mess with that ME, however! But if anyone can pull it off, SHE can!

I did think the same – tough one! But I think she can handle it!!

I think I’ll sit this one out and see how it goes. I find the thought a bit daunting. But thanks for asking 🙂

No problem at all, if it works, and you see how it goes, you could always jump in on a future chain. Also perhaps worth following the chain, and you could try out a response to one or two of the haiku in complete anonymity!

Yeah. Give it a try on your own. They are kind of fun and not stressful because they’re so short. Of course I’ve thrown hundreds of them away! LOL
