GodHaikus

Spiritual resource to share: community poetry



Last month, someone started a Haiku July (thanks Colleen!) and soon voices from all over facebook joined in. I think there were at least twelve novice poets that were sharing their haikus. I hope the others will post theirs too!

As I have been doing GodWords for many months now, it was easy to start doing GodHaikus! Enjoy these 5-7-5 inspirations sprinkled with Haikus from other friends. Soon, every time I opened up the computer.... well....

computer opens
a plethora of haikus
new friends and delight!


starting out....
Thinking of Godwords:
infinite ways to see God
being All-in-all


written with thoughts of a dear friend

rest assured, you are safe,
curled in the palm of Her hand

protected, alert


a prayer of wholeness

no bad parts, good parts,
divided, split or injured.
God declares me whole.


from Sandi

Teach me only truth

what's forever real and now.
Truth alone endures.



One haiku poet introduced

the word "zamming"

and soon many of us were finding

it was just the perfect word!
leaping and zamming
all God's children bounce and play
joyful abandon



embrace

no lines drawn between
sex, race, orientation
Christ is all, in all


for my sons
God's love for you and me
infinite and intimate
bigger than the sky



for busy people

satisfying rest
loon calls fill the evening
night ending day. peace.


removing the stone
hard headache of grief
cracks; reveals the primal point
of sustaining love


This is like an

angel message to me today.

(from a commenter)

Choose your path. Look for
ameliorative signs:
freedom, flow and growth



morning haiku

calm presence of Love
strengthens my confidence: God
underlines my day


triumph

struggling wrestling
heaviness and sludge of doubt
breakthrough: startling joy



from Amy
darkness falling
rain falling
thought rising into pure inspiration

A favorite!! from Isobel:

Oh cuddle divine
arms a big as outer space
trigger sweet release
