ImperfectCJ Thank you! I've enjoyed reading the haiku from the past weeks so much, I just had to get in on the fun! And I really like how the form guides me to get to the point. (Not always my strong suit.) 3mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ I used haikus when teaching my honors kids. Every word packs a punch, so it really helped teach them about sentence fluency. 🖤🐝💛 3mo

ImperfectCJ @dabbe I was blown away when I first encountered Bashō in my college poetry classes...until then, I never knew haiku could be so moving and evocative! 3mo

kelli7990 Welcome @ImperfectCJ to the hive! 3mo

AnnCrystal 🥳🐝 Welcome to the HaikuHive @ImperfectCJ a magical place of magical writings 🪄📜✍️🐝💝. 3mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ Incredible, isn't it? And now I also have to ask, how were you able to get the macron over the “o“? (yep, I had to look up the word 😂). 2mo

ImperfectCJ @dabbe Long press on the "o" (on my Android phone...not sure if it works that way on all phones). On the computer, I find the letter I want on another webpage and copy and paste (although I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it ?). 2mo

lil1inblue Welcome @imperfectcj! I like what you said about haiku guiding you to get to the point. I tend to be overly wordy, so I understand that well! 2mo

CBee Might I add - there are big reasons why two specific members are not included. Please try to remember not to tag them (I will not call them out). The hive is about community, inclusivity, freedom of expression, and above all, love. If you BLOCK the founder of a group, you don‘t get to be a part of that group. The other member left Litsy. @dabbe my boundary work for the day ♥️ (edited) 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @CBee thank you for this, I was wondering what was going on. I knew one person said they were stepping away so I removed them from my list last week. 3mo

CBee @JenlovesJT47 it‘s been, well, a lot of drama. For ridiculous reasons 😔 3mo

dabbe @CBee 🖤🐝💛 3mo

dabbe @CBee @JenlovesJT47 🩵🎯🩵 3mo

jdiehr @CBee That is probably why I was having trouble with tagging! So, the ones tagged in your comment are the current members, right? 3mo

CBee @jdiehr yep! 😊 3mo

CBee @jdiehr sorry, remove @TheSpineView - she left Litsy! @JenlovesJT47 (edited) 3mo

jdiehr @CBee And it looks like Eggs is no longer on the list...right? 3mo

CBee @jdiehr correct. I fixed it in my comment above so it‘s right now. (edited) 3mo

CBee I also added myself lol @JenlovesJT47 @jdiehr 3mo

jdiehr @CBee Gotcha! Now I know why my post wasn't posting the other day. Happy Haiku Hive from here on out 🤞🏻 I wasn't aware of the drama, but I'm glad it's been addressed 3mo

CBee @jdiehr yes! Happy hiving! 3mo

dabbe @CBee @jdiehr Except we just had the lovely #ImperfectCJ join after I posted, so please add her, too. 🐝 3mo

AnnCrystal July Haiku 👏🏼🥳 must make some posts 🪄📜✍️🐝💝. 3mo

Today, I posted my second haiku and I like haikus. They‘re fun. It didn‘t take me very long to write the one I just posted. The challenge seems to be with haiku trying to figure out what topics to write about and keeping it to just being 3 lines without ruining the structure of the haiku. Usually on #whatsnewwednesday when I‘m talking about what‘s going on with me, I have a lot to say.

I‘m trying out haiku for the first time. I‘ve never written one before. This one is dedicated to Tom cat (the neighbor‘s cat). His owner named him Skye but we call him Tom or Tom cat. He was visiting us every day for months after my dog Toppy passed away but he doesn‘t visit anymore. This is a picture we took of him.

Tom cat doesn‘t visit my mom and I anymore.
We miss him. Where did he go?
Will he ever visit us again?

JenlovesJT47 Aww he‘s beautiful 😻🫂💛🖤💛🖤Welcome to the hive! 🐝🐝🐝 3mo

AnnCrystal 😍😻 how beautiful, I hope he visits again. Maybe Skye came to help you and your mom, because he sensed and wanted to help ease some of your sadness about your baby Toppy.

👏🏼🐝😘🐈🐝💝. Thanks for tagging, I'm glad you've joined HaikuHive 🐝💝. 3mo

TheBookHippie Awe. He‘s quite handsome. 3mo

julieclair I agree with @AnnCrystal . I think Tom Cat Skye sensed you needed a little extra love. 💝 3mo

Variation on an earlier haiku. Sort of cheating, I know. 😊

dabbe It's not cheating! Monet painted 25 haystacks, all variations depending on the type of light in the day. You're doing Monet with words! 💛🐝🖤 4mo
