The Haiku Challenge day 29, the last day of the Challenge



Day 29 – February 29th – Theme or Word: Journey


This it ... the last day of the Haiku Challenge. It was a real Journey to write an haiku every day on a given theme. It wasn't always easy, sometimes even tough to write, but I succeeded every day again.
Today this Journey will come to an end and I have to wait for a possible new Haiku Challenge next year. I will surely miss it. It was fun and a pleasure to write an every day haiku or some other haiku form if asked. There was e.g. the Pi-ku and the Naisaiku haiku forms I wasn't familiar with. And what about the Acrostic haiku ... that (for sure) was a challenge.
 I loved doing this and now ... well just a last change to write for The Haiku Challenge 2012. I will thank Someone is Special for giving us the opportunity to write our deepest feelings and write haiku. Haiku ... my passion. I love to write haiku and for sure I will write haiku the rest of my life and maybe ... some Pi-ku, Naisaiku and Acrostic haiku too.
Today ... my last change to write another set of haiku to share with you all. This set of haiku must be very special, because it's the last day of The Haiku Challenge. So let's do it.
Someone is Special asked us "to leave your footprints" that's what I have done and I will use that line in one of my haiku here.
It was a pleasure to be part of this Haiku Challenge.

Namaste

a little verse
to leave my footprint on the Internet
scent of Honeysuckle

scent of Honeysuckle
makes me slumberous
dreaming of passion

dreaming of passion
while walking along the seashore
with the one I love
On a Journey, along the Lord's Roads
with the one I love
I undertake a journey
into oblivion

into oblivion
with my pencil and paper
a little verse


It was my pleasure to share this with you and I hope that all who visited my haiku-blog will continuing reading and writing haiku or one of the other haiku forms we encountered.
With sad feelings struggling with happy feelings I remain silent and humble.
Well ... maybe we meet again ... some day, some place, until than ... God Bless.

Sincerely,

Chèvrefeuille

Lovely set of haiku, Chevrefeuille! I've enjoyed reading you during this whole journey. Thank you for the company. God Bless!

@ Chevrefeuille
Nameste! :) :)

That was such a wonderful reading of a journey. Loved the last part. And somehow simply in love with Honey-Suckle kind of scent and colour of your verse.

For me it has been not just a pleasure of reading some wonderful haiku but it was more of a learning process for me. I'm so glad that this Haiku Avenue was conducted by SiS and I came across your awesome Blogs.

I look forward to same beautiful amalgamation of emotions, creativity and colours bond in future too.

However, due to extensive travelling I could not be that prompt in responding, hence I'm heartily apologetic. I hope you will understand!

A sense of honeyed, mystical slumber in your words! Like an invitation to create a dream and then dare to live it! Beautiful!

Your work is always a pleasure and a joy to read, it was good to share this journey with you.

Btw in April you can do the NaPoWriMo challenge and I believe Haiku Heights are offering prompts for April too.

This was a beautiful poem! I think you ended the haiku challenge with an excellent piece of work. I wish I could have participated in this challenge, but I found out too late, oh well.

Anyway, of course I'll keep coming back, as long as you keep on writing. :)

What a delightful cascading Haiku to end this part of the journey, and to see us off into the next ... your style is delightful.

It has been a joy to visit you and your creative contributions this past month. In many ways it is difficult to believe the challenge is over, and in other ways, I am glad. :D It has been a pleasure. Thank you ~~

This is a beautiful cascading haiku and thank you for sharing your haiku with us. I enjoyed the nature images of your lines, which I think should be the way to write haiku.

I wish you well in your journey. For me, I am learning other writing styles so I will be going into another direction.

But I will still be posting once a week thru Haiku Heights. See you and thanks for all your wonderful comments. You are truly inspiring ~

Isn't it a wonderful feeling to lose yourself, become engrossed, in something you enjoy doing? Wishing you much success and continued enjoyment!
