delightful garden
ReplyDeleteinvitingly peaceful and
serene solitude
Thanks for including me on your list. I'll be sharing Haiku at Small Reflections tomorrow (especially for your Festival) and I always write Haiku on Fridays ... often other days too, just because. I'm looking forward to visiting others too ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I'm back again ...
ReplyDeleteIt occurs to me that this would make a lovely Mellow Yellow Monday post too. I've shared the Haiku Festival information in the sidebar of each of my blogs and will most likely share Haiku on each as well, so if time permits ... perhaps you could add Happily Retired Gal and Sacred Ruminations to the link list for tomorrow?
Hugs and blessings,
Yes, pure peace, bliss.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeletePlease include me in your list. I have contacted Tracy and will be joining you for the Haiku Festival :D
My poems will be posted 11th afternoon (I just need two appropriate photos to go with!).
Thank you!
Kyoko
oh yes, bliss and delightful..how wonderful is this haiku..have a great week ahead, hugs........M
ReplyDeleteI will be posting a Haiku tomorrow in honor of your festival.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea, and inviting all to share:

It IS bliss enough...thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking foward to heading off for visits tomorrow!
an impressive list. i like your haiku.
ReplyDeletepaz
May I add a good book and a snack to this peaceful haven?
ReplyDeleteLovely Haiku. Quite unusually so, I thought!
ReplyDeleteDear Elizabeth,
ReplyDeletelovely Haiku pictures,
in words and image!
The link to PinkPurl does not work,
at least on this side of the pond.
Much too mentally lazy to particpate - or should I amend that to 'much to involved in my last OU essay to spare my blogging time in thinking' :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get your link to work? I guess you might not know it. The one at the top of the page. The PinkPurl link.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry!
ReplyDeleteI have now fixed the PINK PURL link.
Please try again.
Yes, this is indeed bliss enough - unless of course we were actually there...
ReplyDeleteHugs
Your haiku is lovely Elizabeth! I'm off to check out some others on your lengthy list.
ReplyDeleteHappy Haiku Festival :)
Oh perfectly perfect, Elizabeth. All - the secluded bench, the sunny marigolds and your delightfully expressed haiku.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteYour Haiku reminds me of a New York Spring. Before you and Bee organized this even, I hadn't read many Haiku.
They are short and to the point, yet somehow touch me deeply.
Thank you for organizing the Festival with Bee!!
xox

Have fun in the Land of Haiku today,
absorbing Spring around the world!
I meant organized this event!!!
ReplyDeleteVery evocative, Elizabeth! The sensation of harmony is present in word and photo...beautiful! So many have join in and so many would like this even to come back next year--wonderful! Thanks again, my friend :o) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteYes, bliss indeed! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this event with Tracy today ~ it was such a wonderful idea!
Perhaps to late for me to join, but I've posted my first attempt at haiku on my site today.
ReplyDeleteBliss, indeed! So glad you came up with this idea. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea, beautiful poem and photo. You're a gem, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteA lovely haiku, indeed. And many thanks for posting the links to all these other blogs (some of which are already in my weekly blog-tour).
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Perfect haiku!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on mine as we speak...
it's not easy...
I would love to sit in that garden.
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how much fun my son and I had with this! Thank you so much for the invitation. Peace.
I would definitely be happy in this spot. beautifully said.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is bliss, esp as I imagine myself there! Beautiful photo and words and a big thank you to you and Tracy for all this beauty and weavings of haiku today!
ReplyDeleteit's way bliss enough Elizabeth - this was my first haiku experience - why I signed up to do it is beyond me, but I'm glad I did - thank you

ReplyDeleteThank you for what I personally hope will be the first of many more Haiku Festivals to come.

Hi Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteOh indeed, bliss!
xo
Peaceful, beautiful haiku Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed writing mine when I was flying home form Colardo. It kept my mind from feeling sad to leave, and also off the fact there were thunderstorms all the way home!
I hope this will be a yearly event!
So many searching
ReplyDeletefinding light in the darkness
New York’s storyline
Fabulous photo .. inspiring Haiku
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - my haiku has been done... thanks, it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely
ReplyDelete(sorry I didn't join in)
Sx
Hi there! I joined the fun .. but am not certain how to link myself to a list ..... what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYes! I would love to sit on that bench and admire the flowers!
ReplyDeleteLovely festival Elizabeth!
Such a lovely Haiku and photo. I instantly felt transported to a calm and restful place (such bliss after a day in the classroom!). I adore Buster and his blog. Think I'll be returning! Thanks for co-hosting this event, it's been great. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku and thanks for letting me join. I've enjoyed diving into all this fab poetry.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a slowcoach - my laptop is at the mender's so it's harder to keep in touc at the mo. I've posted my haiku on The Magic Armchair Traveller. It was inspired by sunny springtime Somerset. Thanks for getting this together, and for your delightful haiku.
ReplyDeleteI like Haiku's so tried a quick one - thanks for the opportunity to join
ReplyDeletehttp://ammdh.blogspot.com/
Peaceful poem and photo :-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Elizabeth! I read my Haiku again and realized I had one too many syllables in the third line --- can we say EDIT ?????
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice haiku!
ReplyDeleteSorry not to join you, friend.
Vicarious joy?
Thanks Elizabeth and Paz for organising a haiku festival. Such a stimulating idea, your image and wonderful haiku kept me busy for week reading about past Japanese Masters! Daunting, but yours was not.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Haiku. My first time making it with others. Thank you so much for holding this event.
ReplyDeleteI have now posted mine! :D

ReplyDeletegreat idea--thank you for hosting along with Tracy--loved your haiku..having fun reading the posts after a long day--best c
Every one I've read is fabulous. Thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat! Thank you for all this lovely, lovely writing.
ReplyDeleteI wrote and posted at least one haiku every day in April (National Poetry Month) if anyone's looking for more (though there's enough here to feast on for days...)
http://liz-scanlon.livejournal.com/
Lovely, lovely! Going to come back and poke around your site somemore after I read all the haiku. Thanks!
ReplyDeletedidn't realize
ReplyDeletethis haiku celebration:
only for a day
difficult to stop
fingers tapping syllables
measuring the words
Better late then never. (smile) I am enjoying the list of Haiku poets.
ReplyDeletesticks, twine, bits of lint
feathered architects fashion
open-air tree cribs
I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on everyone's wonderful haiku. You must make this an annual event, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.Feels cool and comfortable, peaceful, a place to sit and contemplate. Thanks for organizing the festival, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteSo many clever Haikus. This was a wonderful idea. I'm just sorry that I couldn't find a decent wireless connection while away.
ReplyDeleteMy dog sitter came wearing an interesting t-shirt the other day. It said:
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator
Everything I've linked to from here makes sense though!
