haiku my heart with roses

 

refuge of comfort

in your light i find a home

fragrance of roses

 

fragrance of roses

love in every syllable

shelter in the storm

 

 

lovers of small words gather on fridays to share

haiku.

some of us have been sharing this weekly tradition for years

and we are always happy to welcome more.

there are no rules or prompts, 

just a deep desire to bear our souls in seventeen syllables.

some fridays in december

haiku my heart 

coincides with the first twelve days of december set aside to honor

simply, motherlove, today is that day.

in years past i have offered separate links;

one for those who haiku and one for those honoring mary.

weary of separateness, 

and pleasantly surprised to find haiku weaving in and out of this entire week, 

 i am inviting everyone to share together, 

so come all you lovers of small words, and gatherers of light, 

come haiku all hearts!

I posted very early this morning not knowing it was haiku day, yet I did one. Something is happening here. :)
Rebecca, your words and your picture are simply beautiful.
Beautiful! Thanks for allowing me to participate. Thanks to dear Gemma for sending me here.

I heart these images Rebecca, I am always a sucker for hands. Imagining Mary to smell like roses...perfect way to face this gray day.
I did 2 separate posts last night...I hope that is OK. ♥♥♥

I know the Mary in your photos today...you are blessed to have such a magnificently benevolent beauty right outside your door, protecting your home, your garden, and your family...fragrance in your soul!

What a nourishing, nurturing place to gather on a Friday! Thank you!

[spadoman]

You read my thoughts as I intertwined the Friday Haiku My Heart with A Virgin a Day and made one. Such a wonderful way to start any day is here at your page with your words, from your heart, to ours.

Peace

No post of Mary...but, just started a new book by Ann Patchet, Run that made me smile with the very first sentence of the statue of Mary that plays the major role in this novel.

haiku as sweet as these roses to you

[Meri @ Meri's Musings]

Your site is a home and a refuge -- both for visions of Mary and its gentle haiku.

[Jill K. Berry]

I have Mary on my blog too. How often do we do this? Sending you love, lots of love.

[Forest Dream Weaver]

What lovely synchronicity...... I've just posted a rose and I arrive here to find more!
I wish fragrance could be easily transported by thought waves! Thank you for the words.

Sweet dreams,
Ruby

I just discovered what's taken me so long to post... oh Rebecca... once again, I let your prompts take me to places... I haven't wanted to touch, that need a soft light shined upon them. I love you so. XO

[Fran aka Redondowriter]

So, we are two communities today--that have united. Thanks for hosting all of us. Mary and roses; in my mind I am kneeling before her and smelling the fragrance.

[Poet Laundry]

"fragrance of roses" had me breathing deeply to smell them...thanks for the smile today.

[Kim Mailhot]

Oh, the sweet poetry of these words and images, Lovely Rebecca. I inhaled its beauty deeply.
Sending you much love, Beautiful One.

[Hettienne Grobler]

I am afraid I have been doing my posts in advance - on schedule - and were not prepared for haiku! but Mary is there to be shared. blessings

[Sue Fox]

I must be near the end of your long list!! Wow all these lovers of Mary and small words and you of course! :~)xxx

[Leah]

Fascinating to read all the lovely haiku today by clicking through the links here. Thanks again for hosting this awesome event!

[annie]

Mary's gentle hand, always reaching for us, waiting for us to reach back.

[Laurie Zuckerman]

Rebecca dear, Pardon me posting so late in the day. I wish I had a Haiku of Mary to share, but instead I wanted to offer all of your lovely audience the opportunity to share my love of MEMORY JUGS at my blog, as I am announcing that I am teaching a special Memory Jug making workshop in Boulder next February 16-17, 2013.

[peggy gatto]

I love this place!!!
