Hello, friends!
Last week I asked in my Instagram stories for some fun/lovely/unique words to use as poetry prompts. I was given some pretty awesome words! I turned most of them into haikus…and here they are! I hope you enjoy reading through them.:)
illustrious
illustrious soul
please don’t let go your wonder
hold fast to your song
set-apart
my dear, don’t you know
you aren’t meant to blend in here…
He set you apart
windblown
windblown and wild
a soul bent on so much more
fights onward for truth
crepuscular
crepuscular light
shoving hard against darkness
the essence of hope
surrender
surrender, my love…
bitterness only poisons
the heart holding it
raxeira
here in Your glory
Lord, let me be nothing more
than a raxeira
introspect
introspectional
sometimes I neglect seeing
the wounds around me
ubiquitous
one day – someday soon –
we will live in a land of
ubiquitous joy
shalom
spill shalom freely
let it drip down from your words
and your legacy
candle
candle in the wind,
fight for your faltering light…
the world needs your song
glimmer
see, even teardrops
glimmer in the face of light,
defying darkness
dolphin
a dolphin rises,
slips through the ocean’s crust,
smiles, vanishes
periwinkle
take me to a place
where city lights don’t battle
periwinkle skies
Which haiku is your favorite? Have you ever tried writing haikus?
