my endless summer
welcomes me with open arms
cuddle me hopeful

I read and feel her pain.
Tears, now flowing free
through the holes in my soul.

Beautiful haiku Rebecca. I wait for my Fridays to post my haiku here. Thank you.

Love all the meanings tumbling from your haiku! In some ways, it is like a possible last question of living("releasing my breath") and in other ways it is like reaching a crossroad of choices and judgment within life! Lovely haiku!

Thank-you for being such a fine hostess.
Thank-you for that haiku. I wish you lightness in every sense of that holy word.

breathing forgiveness
hope whispers

Computer not acting up, so haiku is up.
For Uma - I can't seem to leave a message on your blog as I can never read the spam blocker - I think because I see negative space and can't see what I'm supposed to see! Anyway, I did love your offering about the mangoes today!

I just love your photograph and the haiku. I am a huge fan of forgiveness. As a therapist, I often feel that if we could all learn to forgive- we could be happy. That doesn't mean we forget... just let go. Thanks Rebecca! I posted my entry for today!

Dearest beloved new sisterfriend, my mind is all a flutter, for my son just arrived home for leave...he proposed, she said yes, and in typical military style, the church wedding will be delayed until December, but they are getting married TODAY!!! JoY JoY JoY!!! Must go purchase a cake! And a card, and roses...perhaps a rainbow with a bucket of bunnies. **blows kisses** Deb

Beautiful Haiku Rebecca! And photo to match.
Have you met Princess Haiku?
http://princesshaiku.blogspot.com/
She is blogging buddy you should meet!
About me and Haiku~
I've only written one in my life a few years ago.
I can tell it just flows out of you like all of your poetry does, a beautiful gift from God. For you and eb it is as natural as speaking. For me writing down words is a challenge. , a challenge I must prepare for. I do love Haiku. So sort, so complex, so easy so hard.
Less is more!!!!

Dandelion clocks,
Every seed carries a wish,
Dreams, hopes and comfort.
Beautiful photograph and haiku :-)
