Haiku
Haiku: Poetry Ancient & Modern | Jackie Hardy
3 posts
along the mountain road somehow it tugs at my heart a wild violet Basho Originating in Japan, the haiku is a tiny poem that is usually only three lines long and contains a total of seventeen syllables. A universally appealing form of poetry, a haiku is able to capture an intensely humanand ordinarymoment and turn it into something extraordinary. Haiku: Poetry Ancient & Modern is a gorgeously illustrated anthology of over 200 poems from 100 of the best haiku poets in America and around the world, as well as translations of the Japanese masters. The poems range in time from the seventeenth to the twentieth century's, and follow the elemental themes of earth, air, fire, water, wood and metal. This exquisite collection of haiku is a joyful read for anyone, whether new to haiku or looking to expand their collection. Haiku authors include: Dakotsu Patricia Donegan Humberto Gatica Jackie Hardy Kikaku Shiki Kenneth Tenemura Nicholas Virgilio

bellabella I hate anxiety! 😡 😂
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.“
Philippians 4:6-7

CBee I 100% understand. These days my anxiety is almost daily 😩 2mo
Reggie My teeth started to vibrate in that uncomfortable way after reading this. Great haiku. 2mo
AnnCrystal Anxiety is horribly easy to stumble into these days 🙏🐝💝.

Two of my favorites quotes about anxiety:

“Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.“

“Inhale confidence, exhale doubt.“

TheBookHippie @julieclair it‘s horrific. I hope he can learn a few coping things. I‘ve learned a few over the decades and it can still just hit. Ugh. 1mo
lil1inblue @TheBookHippie @julieclair I feel like I am still learning new ways to cope! The worst is when it arrives for no reason at all. 1mo
julieclair @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue Thanks for your supportive words. Even though he‘s in his 30s, as his mom, it‘s so hard to watch. He has a new psychologist he‘s working with now who is really helping. 1mo
