Swiftly our lives pass
And all our tribulations…
A butterfly’s ghost
Dear Haiku Hubbers and all who love haiku. Welcome to this week’s TJ’s Haiku Challange coming to you from Oxford.
Living in a seventeenth century building has its charms. Internet connectivity is not one of them.
I won’t be able to do a summary for the challange for a while until I can get more reliable connection so please leave a link to your own haiku in the comments and check out the wonderful haiku of the participants by clicking on the black speech bubble at the end of the post.
You can read the haiku from the last challenge “bud” by clicking HERE
Best wishes to you all!
TJ

I know how you feel.
I’m doing NaNoWriMo again this year and am frustrated at the lack of time I’m able to devote to looking at blogs. I’m missing so many good posts.

I feel very guilty at times when I have not had the chance to return the favour and look at others writing and art. The days seem to go faster and faster alas. 🙂

Happy Travels TJ. I wonder if there are “ghosts” in your 17th century building. I tend to think there just might be. 🙂 Here are a few Haiku. Enjoy your time in the north hemi! 🙂 kat

There you are my friend! I took a day of silence yesterday to allow myself to grieve and absorb the results of the madness here in the US. But I am ready to get back to writing today. Peace to you! Kat
