Happy New Year, Friends!
As we usher out the old and welcome in the new, the month of January can become a time of reflection and introspection. For more than a decade I have used the month of January as a time to observe and jump start creativity in the form of a daily haiku. I would welcome any companions on my haiku challenge — even if you don’t want to write each day. I invite you to follow me on Twitter @pamressler, Instagram @pamressler, where I will be using the hashtag #HaikuChallenge23. We can also do a bit of a “call and response” on this blog where I welcome your haiku in the comment section each day.
For a bit of a primer of haiku — they are simply brief mindful poems (that don’t rhyme :-) based in the present moment. You might want to use the familiar 5 — 7 — 5 syllables on three lines…or a more free form version. You can get a look at previous haiku by scrolling through my blog.
Looking forward to sharing haiku with you beginning tomorrow, January 1, 2023
