i am not sure how
blue became a neon prayer
paint...... exquisite stars
***
it is haiku my heart.
hold on to your wig hat because
two worlds are about to collide!
lovers of simplicity, word carvers down
to bare bone, it is friday where we have been converging
for five glorious months.
let me begin by thanking each of you for
your place here.
for taking time to haiku, and
visiting each other...link by link,
leaving the gift of your comments at each stop.
powerful, this seeing and being seen,
listening and being heard.
here is mr. linky,
collecting your haiku......
here is mr. linky for " a virgin a day".
where many of us are posting photographs,
art work, stories....a smitten offering of honor for the
virgin of guadalupe
whose feast day
is december 12.
we are marveling at the iconic beauty who
has found her way around the world.
a chance to share a common thread no matter
what our spiritual beliefs may be.
i hope haiku and virgins will
visit each others exquisite
offerings
and grace each other with a salutation.
Oh boy, I had already prepared my post, but I will delay my choice and go back to do Haiku my Heart.
How enlightening all this is for me personally.

Whoops. I now realize I didn't have to do Haiku My Heart, but my post is a combo of A Virgin a Day and Haiku My Heart.
This neon version of Mary is muy spectacular.

I have missed you too! Life has been too busy. I am so sad that I wasn't able to prepare for this special Virgen Haiku! I am such a lover of all things Virgen de Guadalupe! Maybe I will post later. I love your neon Virgen. Inspired electric.

Two worlds collide.... - Gentleman Jim Reeves could have expressed it no better.
Thanks for making this internet gig such huge amounts of fun for us all.
Take care.
Very best wishes to you from Boonie and Mrs S

And not just fun: an uplifting experience that I look forward to all week: a MEME amongst memes, which my search for more memes cannot better.
I am struggling for a word to describe your past week's offerings, hovering between cacophany, treasure trove, ephemeral funfair or kaleidoscope. They all ring bells and shake like tremblingly adorned xmas trees. An experience beyond the norm, certainly my own norm.

I did it wrong.
Never been this confused on line before
Sorry. No virgin on offer here. The church in our village closed this summer. First the shop, then the post office, then the social club, then the police house, now the church. The infastructure in decline. The pub is still open of course. Don't get me started...

A lovely haiku. The illuminated Virgin Mary has it's own beauty doesn't it? Was this picture taken in LA? Have a wonderful day!

Hi all, I'm super excited today because I'm off to the BIG CITY, I'll be searching for some 'Neon Virgins' or otherwise in London.
I'll be visiting all the beauty of Haiku & Virgins later, and will be sure to comment next week.
Neon Virgin whatever next!
Rebecca you light up my life,
love you Sue x

Every day it is a new level of "wow"! What a really neat rendition of the Virgin a la banner/mosaic/modern style! Liking it a lot.
I agree with Boonie. Such a spectacular collection of offerings this week by you and everyone else.
I am in awe. Once again.

This is just thrilling over here -- can't wait until tomorrow!

Rebecca,
I love the the luminescent Virgin. She is a shining Star of the Sea for all lost travelers on their respective journeys to find their way back home. She is blue and beautiful and offers peace and respite in a world torn by strife. Lovely! You offer so many unusual and incredibly beautiful images of Guadalupe to us. I am fascinated. I did post. I was in another city tonight with a dear friend visiting his brother in the hospital. His brother has cancer that may be inoperable. Please keep Glenn in your thoughts. I stayed with the virgin theme. Just can't get enough of it now!
xoxox,
Noelle
