Oh… thank you so much for your kind words, Tracy… My inspirations for Haiku are Ilakya and Robert… 🙂
And now your comments have totally encouraged me! Thanks once again… Looking forward to reading some Haiku from you…
Have a great Sunday!
Awww…thanks Tony.. hope you didn’t fly away with the butterfly yourself 🙂
Thanks for the kindness 🙂 These are my initial attempts at Haiku…so, kindness REALLY needed !! 🙂
Have a fabulous Sunday!! 🙂
Beautiful! I think only we can make us fly (I mean, it’s up to us to leave the safety of our cocoons behind, isn’t it?) – and we’re doing it, here if nowhere else……moment to moment…wing-beat to wing-beat…
Love the haiku, and the image too is awesome! As you are too… 🙂 🙂
Aww…thank you so much your kindest words… That was very sweet of you…
And yea, I am with you on the flying bit… we need to pull ourselves out of our cocoons, and learn to fly… birds and butterflies can inspire us, but we need to learn it ourselves!
I am very glad you liked my first ever 5-7-5 Haiku :)…
Oh.. And I see where the “cocoon” bit came from 😉 Funny how I wrote about a butterfly without even knowing about this “cocoon” theme… pheewww 🙂
Anyway.. I hope you are having a LOVELY Sunday!! Take care… (many hugs)
Wooohooooo.. you’ve made me very happy, Ilakya… Cuz I owe this one to you and your fabulous Haiku!! Thank you, sweetheart, for you appreciation and encouragement…. YAAAAYYYYY
Glad you liked it! 🙂 😀 (see that grin?)
That was such a beautiful thought, Jingle.. thank you so much for this lovely wish 🙂
Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday!!
P.S: I’m really sorry about the delayed reply… was out all Saturday… movie, then some shopping…phew 😦
Awwww… am so glad you liked this Amanda… I love buttterflies… I am totally awed by them!! (and secretly, I envy them too :))…
Sorry for the delayed reply, girl.. Saturday was a blur… shopping/movies/loitering in NYC 🙂 Phhheewwww
How has your weekend been thus far?!?!? Had a load of fun I hope…
My Sunday too is gonna be a tight!! Jeeeeezz.. 😀
LUV YA BABES!!! Missing ya!!! (mannnnnnnnnnnny hugs)
how are you?
I commented on your blogger,
it is difficult at first, I could not find the post comment button after I enter word verification…you may need to change the comment option a little bit.
thanks.
BEST wishes!
miss you!
I am very well, Ji… thank you so much for asking…
And uh ohhh… I don’t use my blogger account all that much, Jingle… In fact I might delete it very soon.. I am falling in love with WordPress 🙂
But even so, I will check what’s going on in my Blogger account (comments and all)… some time later though.. heheheh… Sunday is gonna be a very lazy day for me 🙂
Besides, I have no idea what’s happening in my Blogger accnt.. 😦
Thank you so much for your observation and suggestions… It is so kind of you… I will definitely look into it..
HAVE A GRRRREEEAAATTTT SUNDAY, Ji!
YOU are the BEST!!! (love you… many hugs)
Yaaaayyy… thank you so much for the awards, Ji…
Sorry about my delayed reply, and the delayed award acceptance 😦 it really was PACKED WEEKEND! I am sure you understand…
I hope you too had a great weekend..
Wish you a happy week ahead 🙂
You are the coolest! 🙂 [many hugs to you]
Absolutely!! I had never imagined such few words an hold this much meaning till I came by a Haiku…
I am glad you liked this one… it’s my FIRST 5-7-5 ever! Thank you for your kind words…
Hope you are having a great Sunday! 🙂
More than ever!!! 😉
Try skydiving (if you haven’t already)…that’s real close to flying!! Aaaahhhmaaazing!! 😀
Hope you are having a LOVELY Sunday! And thanks for stopping by my place 🙂
Word economy indeed! And I find that really challenging! 🙂 Thanks for your encouragement… Glad you liked it.. it was my first ever 5-7-5, after all! Added rhyme to it (that’s my touch aside from the rules :))
I totally LOVED your Haiku!! Both are really smart and neat!!
Write on, Luke.. I won’t even avert my head 🙂 Would love to read what you write…
And please critique as much as you like! Your comments and critique are most welcome here 🙂
Take care, and have a great week!
Hoping to catch you around soon…
wooohoo…thank you so much, Asmita… This was my first ever Haiku in the 5-7-5 form, and so your words of encouragement mean a lot to me!!
Glad you enjoyed it…
Aww..please Vandana!! Now I am really flattered! Ofcourse you can write Haiku! You can do anything with words!
Thanks for your encouragement, and I’m really glad you liked this one… your comments mean a lot to me!!
Hope your weekend was great! And now, have a lovely week ahead! (lotsa love)
And you said my Haiku on time was good? This is amazing!! I wish I could write Haiku this good. So much to see in these three lines. So many possibilities, so many meanings. In my opinion, what makes a strong Haiku is something that has a general meaning, but that also has underlying interpretations that different people get based on experience. You have hit this perfectly.
Aww…Mark, I really am flattered!! I swear!!! I guess I was inspired by the amazing works of some my blogger friends (including you), to write this Haiku..
Writing a Haiku is quite a challenge! With such few words at your disposal, bringing out the feeling is not all that easy! So I really look up to anyone that has attempted writing one.. and as for the interpretations by the reader, well, I totally agree with you on that!!! heheh…check out my blog header.. “How I write, is mine.. How you read, is yours” I truly believe that! 🙂
I am very happy to see taht you liked and enjoyed this piece..and once again, thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! Your thoughtful comments are most appreciated!
Hope you have a fantastic week ahead, my friend…
Oh…thank you so much for your kindest words, Jamie.. that’s really sweet of you.. I am very glad you enjoyed this Haiku.. It was my first ever 5-7-5..
Well, the picture was a Google-hunt born image 🙂 Something I had downloaded ages ago, just cuz I had liked it back then 🙂 And I thought it most appropriate for this little piece.. Glad you liked it too…
Have a GORGEOUS week ahead, friend… (much love)
And so said the butterfly,
“You too are a beautiful butterfly,
Spread your wings and you shall fly
I’ll take you along on a journey
Where we’ll float through the air
And fly high up in the sky
Along sweet scented fields of nectar…”
Awwwww…that was the sweetest reply ever!! I would love to fly with this butterfly… I am sure I won’t fall either 🙂 Thanks to my feather-weight self.. heheh
Thanks for the beautiful poem-comment, Navdib…it was so sweet of you!!! Glad you enjoyed my Haiku… it was my first attempt at a 5-7-5…phew!
Have a fantabulous week ahead, my rocking friend! 🙂
(many hugs)
Yaaaayyyy…thank you so much for the awards… me LOVES this!!!!
Visiting your blog is entirely my pleasure, girl!!
Thanks once again…it’s really very sweet of you… MWAH !! 🙂
Have a gorgeous week ahead!
me too… I love butterflies… they are the cutest, prettiest and most harmless lil creatures, and are absolutely inspiring!!!
I am glad you liked this Haiku, girl… And thanks for your lovely comments…
Have a lovely day!!! (much love) 🙂
Amen to that, Doraz… as free as a butterfly indeed… wow… I LOVE butterflies! They really epitomize freedom to me!
Glad you liked this little Haiku here…and thank you so much for your sweet and positive words… your comments mean a lot to me, girl!
Take care, and have lots of fun!! I hope you are enjoying crazy!!! 🙂
(hugs and kisses)
I am falling in love with Haiku.. have written a few more (not yet published though!)
Glad you enjoyed this one, Christine.. and thank you for your kindness! Hope you had a GREAT road trip!! 🙂
Awww…thanks, lovely Chloe! I am so glad you enjoyed this one here… I ADORE butterflies myself… they epitomize freedom to me…and hence the title ofcourse 🙂
Thanks for the wishes and sweeeet words…. So far I am having a relaxed weekend! Who knows what’s to come ! 😉
You have a lovely one yourself, girl!!! (mwaaahhhzz)
Absolutely!!! I am my own butterfly – that’s supposed to be the motto 🙂
Glad you liked this one… and thanks for your encouraging and insightful comments…
Have a great weekend!
Yaaaayyyy…. thank you so much, Christine!!! Coming from a Haiku expert such as yourself, this comment means the WORLD to me!! I am very glad you enjoyed this one… Butterflies are the loveliest creatures indeed.. I’ve often prayed that I am born as one in my next life 🙂
Have a free and gorgeous week ahead, my friend.. 😀 (hugs)
Oh… thanks, S!!! I love butterflies, and look in awe at them, ALWAYS!!! This was the least I could do to show my awe 🙂
Glad you liked this haiku…

Love haikus… I’ve written a few.. great practice in word economy i find.. nice one. Here’s one:
I want to write like
no-one’s watching. Give me a
pen; avert your head.
or..
Poems of cheese leave
me twitter and bisted; I’ll
critique till I croak.
haha…
Warmest Salad… catch you around my friend
