Thank you, Leon!

Unity is here,

though hidden, quiet, tired,

these hands hold us still.

Haikus feel approachable because of their brevity, but they can surprise you and also be a challenge! My word for you: sisters.

Thanks very much, Vivian! Indeed, haiku is a double-edged adventure. For your word:

I thank my sisters

for shared stories, tears, laughter,

our web of girlhood.

@Rhome, thank you for sharing this beautiful song and introducing me to this artist I didn’t know!

Follow your own groove,

it’s the rhythm of return

back home to yourself.

Mary, thank you so much for reading and for your support - it means a lot!

Rise, reawaken

like tender earth of April,

the new day is yours.

Hi, Neena!

I wish for shooting

stars to illuminate each

pathway you travel.

Haikus sure look like a challenge.

Yes and no. Definitely a challenge in terms of the brevity that narrows down your word choice, but at the same time the structure is useful and the universe of words is vast 😊
