JOY
when JOY enters you
a thousand clouds cannot stop
the sun in your heart
***
haiku my heart
welcomes
meri's
what could be better than sharing joy?
maybe...
a haiku about JOY?
of course our haiku my heart arrangement
means following your instincts.
cannot wait to make my way
around our haiku neighborhood.

off and running on this
cheeky new day.

Oh this photo works so perfectly with my bittersweet day from yesterday ! Thankfully I was able to dance it out and today is able to be much more about JOY !
Fantastic combo, Rebecca !
Happy Thursday !

I'm glad you're doing it early! I was afraid I'd be too busy tomorrow - so yay!

Another virgin haiku. Sigh. I don't think there's one bit of joy in this one. I apologize.

Don't you just love brollies?
Such a great invention.
Almost as good as the wheel.
Makes you feel cosy and safe and protected.
I often walk with one long after the rain has stopped.
Or if it is sunny, and then I call it a parasol rather than a paraplui. If it blows, it is my paravent.

Singing in the Rain.. I'm singing in the rain..gotta glorious feeling I'm happy again..It is a beautiful photo, rebecca--it shouts loud and clear that no matter what befalls, there is enough deep joy within your heart and soul to provide maximum coverage in a storm.

I've been slumping lately, trying to piece together words that make any sense, but I came to see you for inspiration. Good to find out about Meri's JOY idea, and see you singing and dancing in the rain. I love the photo and the haiku.
Peace.

Dear Rebecca and everyone else who participates in Haiku My Heart Friday: You may not be aware of another haiku meme, Sensational Haiku Wednesday. It could use an infusion of new life. Why not stop by Jenn's "You know ... that Blog?" next week and bring your gifts of joy? You can check out the most recent haiku here:
