I’m nearing my one-year anniversary as a fledgling blogger. Hooray! To celebrate, I’ll write a haiku for any friend who email-subscribes to my posts before October 12. (As yet, I don’t post exceedingly often, so cast aside any fears of an inbox deluge.)
Lest you have high hopes about your turn as my muse, you must know I’m not much of a poet. That said, I can darn well promise you a haiku from the heart. So, let’s get this poetry party started with a 5-7-5 tribute to Elaine, my first-ever subscriber (and wondrously magnanimous long-time friend):
You enlighten me.
Wow! Like the first ocean swim
Centering. Graceful.
Congrats on the upcoming one-year anniversary of your blog Emily! I love haikus! 🙂 – Bradley
Thank you, Bradley! You’re the best. And your haiku will be coming at you soon.
I can’t wait for my haiku amiga! Besitos!
You are beautiful AND talented! Love that you are following your passion!!
Thank you so much, Kathy! I so appreciate that.
I always enjoy what you write!
I’m so happy to know that, Kristi! Thank you so, so much for writing. I hope you’re doing great! 🙂
A haiku for and about Emily:
Warm, throaty laughter.
Generous in word and deed
Your horizon shines.
I miss you! Being enthusiastic and honest about life with you makes me happy and makes me a better person. Your blog is a virtual extension of that. I am proud to be your friend and I’m excited for the future. Also, thank you for the mom-mentoring and mom-love!
Oh, wow! A haiku for me?! How did you know I was having a day? Thank you so much, my dear blessing of a friend.
One year, really?
Your journey inspires, sometimes mystifies.
Transcending time, place.
My wonderful dad, thank you so much for this truly awesome haiku for me. What a lovely surprise! Your haiku is forthcoming… Meanwhile, thank you bunches for this.
