Hello everyone and welcome to my 21st haiku hope. These 15 words were put together on a day when I just couldn’t get relief from pain, and I’d been left in tears as a result. Chronic pain often feels infinite. It wakes you up, stops you drifting off and limits the things you’d like toContinue reading “Haiku hope 21 – Rest”

Haiku hope 22 – BTS
Hello again and welcome to another haiku hope. This one is parenting specific, and cover the feelings that get churned up at the end of the 6 week summer break. I’ve loved having our daughter home, but there’s no denying that she makes life a bit more busy and tiring. Saying all that, I missContinue reading “Haiku hope 22 – BTS”
Haiku hope 20 – access
Welcome to you all. Here is my 20th haiku hope, and I can’t quite believe I’ve written 10 of these things, but I’ve had fun along the way. Haikus aren’t as easy as they seem, with so few syllables to play with getting a story out within those 3 lines is tricky. This latest haikuContinue reading “Haiku hope 20 – access”
Haiku Hope 19 – Apple of my eye
Hello again friends. Welcome to another edition in my series of Haikus. Today i’ve used the 5, 7, 5, format to talk about the cheek I have to put up with from our daughter. You’d think that as someone who hasn’t left home for 2 years I’d be pretty well sheltered from comments that canContinue reading “Haiku Hope 19 – Apple of my eye”
Haiku Hope 18 – The Procrastinator
Hello friends and welcome to another Haiku Hope. This time I’m focussing on my inability to…well…focus. I often find myself making time to be creative but when the ideas don’t suddenly flow naturally then the smallest distraction becomes the biggest problem. I try to be creative every day. but with excellent podcasts, books and tvContinue reading “Haiku Hope 18 – The Procrastinator”
Haiku Hope 17 – Make it stop!
Good morning everyone and welcome to another Haiku Hope in this hot summer weather. I’m sure many of you will find you resonate with the feelings in this haiku, not knowing which way to turn in order to feel better. Unsurprisingly I wrote this in a moment where I felt completely unable to be painContinue reading “Haiku Hope 17 – Make it stop!”
Haiku Hope 16 – Trust
Hello again, and welcome to another haiku hope. This time I’m using the 5, 7, 5 format to talk about trust (in a teeny tiny way!), and hopefully explain in a nutshell how easy it is to break my faith in someone. Trust is something earned and not necessarily over time. Often it’s about knowingContinue reading “Haiku Hope 16 – Trust”
Haiku Hope 15 – Long haul haiku
Welcome back to another haiku hope, this time focussing on life with Long Covid and the differences in my world since i started experiencing symptoms. The point of the haikus I write is supposed to be fun, so while LC is a massively miserable pain in the arse, I am still able to smile aboutContinue reading “Haiku Hope 15 – Long haul haiku”
Haiku Hope Part 14 – Degree
Welcome to another in my series of Haikus. This time I’m using my experiences as a student nearing the end of her degree (year 5 of 6 is now well underway) and the stresses of managing study with life in general. I’ve missed these Haikus – over the festive period I focussed on a seriesContinue reading “Haiku Hope Part 14 – Degree”
Haiku Hope Part 13 – Cocoa Love
Welcome to another Haiku Hope! Because of the time of year most of my writing lately has taken a sombre tone. November 11th, Remembrance Sunday, and my own death gauntlet have been the main things on my mind. With all those anxieties building it’s unsurprising that I’ve found myself unable to sleep…again. Last night IContinue reading “Haiku Hope Part 13 – Cocoa Love”
