Haiku hope 32 – Nerves

Hi everyone and welcome to my 32nd Haiku Hope – part of the COPE campaign bundle of creative distractions. This time I thought I’d write about nervousness, because it’s something I battle with constantly. We all get that annoying imposter from time to time, but I wish he’d bigger off during the moments that matterContinue reading “Haiku hope 32 – Nerves”

Haiku hope 29 – A fresh start

Hi everyone and welcome to another Haiku Hope as part of the COPE campaign. This time I wanted to write about the fresh start everyone seems to force on us at this time of year from an alternative viewpoint. Yes, I understand that the new year is a point to make goals, set plans andContinue reading “Haiku hope 29 – A fresh start”

Haiku hope 28 – The gooch

Hi everyone and welcome to another Haiku Hope as part of the COPE campaign. This time I thought I’d write about the limbo we’re all experiencing right now (the same as every year). The ‘Christmas gooch’ is the time between Christmas and new year where you suddenly develop a temporary style of dementia, not knowingContinue reading “Haiku hope 28 – The gooch”

Haiku Hope 24 – Too soon?

Hi everyone! Thank you for coming back (or for visiting the first time) to read another haiku. I’ve been on a haiku writing frenzy recently, with ideas popping up all over the place, and this is one of a couple that made the final cut. As I mentioned in my poem called The Gauntlet, thisContinue reading “Haiku Hope 24 – Too soon?”

Haiku Hope 23 – The price we pay

Hi everyone. Welcome to another Haiku. This time I’m focussing on my difficulty dealing with this time of the year. The Grief Gauntlet is something I talk about often, in fact, I recently posted a poem about it called The Gauntlet. Basically, between October and early December all of the anniversaries of my signofocant lossesContinue reading “Haiku Hope 23 – The price we pay”

Haiku hope 22 – diet

Hi everyone and welcome to another haiku hope. This time I’ve tried to have a bit of fun, because things seem to be so serious everywhere else I look. Life is a box of toffee pennies right now. This haiku came to me a few days ago, but getting it to fit with the 5,Continue reading “Haiku hope 22 – diet”

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 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 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”
