Hello fellow challengers, as earlier this week I have to write contributions for two days together. So here we go to catch up.
Today's prompts "kismet" and "melody" are the themes. First I didn't know "kismet" I had never heard of it, so I had to search for the meaning. As I found "kismet" derives from Turkish and Hindu-Urdu and means fate or destiny. So I will use these for my haiku.
Day 25: "kismet" (meaning: fate or destiny)
was it my fate?
when I ran into my destiny
as a nurse
as a nurse
I am used to sadness
but at home?
but at home
I am the father of two
that's my destiny
that's my destiny
caring for the ill and my kids
was it my fate?
Day 26: "melody"
in the spring breeze
the wind chime sounds
with every step
with every step
the melody of spring rain
follows me
follows me
the melody of a Buddhist chant
Om Mani Padme Hum
Om Mani Padme Hum
resonates in my heart and soul
in the spring breeze

I think Day 25 "kismet" isn't really a good one, but it came right from my heart. See you all tomorrow again (I hope).
