couched on memories
dreams linger in the garden
impatient for love
haiku my heart
lovers of small words gather
willing to strip off the superfluous,
embrace the barest essence of expression,
visit each other with a
passion
and lie in wait for the next friday
to bloom all over again.
thank you for linking back to
so more may join us
Beautiful words.

A garden is certainly a beautiful place for dreams to linger in.

"embrace the barest essence of expression"...that is one of the best descriptions of haiku! LOVE the art/image today too...pairs so well with your own poetry. Happy Weekend, Rebecca! We're heading to the USA on Monday to visit my family for some days. Online time will be limited, but I hope to be around. ;o) Happy Weekend ((HUGS))

I love your haiku........so beautiful and inspiring! I linked back to my blog, which I just started. And on Friday, I wrote my very first haiku. :)

hi rebecca, i have enjoyed being a part of your community sharings. i was wondering if there is an understood 'etiquette' for the timing on leaving comments for haiku my heart and postcards. i am asking because i am not always able to comment to everyone on the list at one sitting. i also personally prefer to spread out the reading and responding over several days giving me more time to read and absorb what is written. just wasn't sure if i would be better that i hurry the process along.
