night is behind us
sun, a flame in every heart
loosened from the sky
***
dear haiku my heart,
spring rises like white hope. seed packages open,
promises roll out like stars.
it is all about the sky right now ...ushering in this bright new day,
and with it, your welcome arrival.
so glad you are here.

"loosened from the sky"
I'm going to steal your line, Rebecca, for a non-traditional haiku:
Fiery fruit,
loosened from the sky,
sweeten my heart!
Thank you,my dear friend!

Good day Rebecca. Such beautiful words as always. I'm going outside since Blogger's down to take in the beauty of our backyard. Actually I have to water my chili's. :)
is this a Haiku?
Habaneros finding light
ready to release
the beauty of heat
????? I don't know how to Haiku. Tee Hee. Have a great day.

Yes, Gloria, what you wrote for Rebecca is a haiku...a tiny moment in time.
Too often writers get hung up with counting syllables instead of just letting a few words trickle down on paper...which is all a haiku is, really...a tiny trickle of words.

Thank you Rebecca for the sharing and light your site has brought into my life. I was blogger challenged this week but kept trying and made it! To all others, keep trying.

Hi, Thanks for inviting me to join in! I like what Magical Mystery Teacher said, "a tiny trickle of words."

When I read your haiku, I can tell it comes from a source where passion reigns. That's why your words have an impact on me.

thank you for this promise of hope and light... i have been at the beach with my family for almost a week - an unexpected blessing and the first real vacation for several years... the sun on the water was magical.
