I saw this story today on Facebook when I was scrolling through my newsfeed and it inspired today‘s haiku.

Doodlebug the baby kangaroo
holding on to his teddy bear for comfort
because he lost his mama

Haiku: Asian Arts and Crafts for Creative Kids | Patricia Donegan

My peeps, this one is inspired by finally starting therapy again and realizing, again, that I have “porous boundaries.” That is, no boundaries. I have a lot of work to do 😅🤪🫣🤦‍♀️ #haikuaday #orwhenever #haikuhive #lazybee

Birds | Kevin Henkes

This haiku is about what I saw in my backyard today. The blue jay flew off when I opened the door and I saw a lizard in the grass panting like he was scared to death. He was fighting for his life trying to keep from getting eaten. Poor baby. This picture of the Blue Jay is from Google.

Blue jay fighting with a lizard
The fight ended with the lizard panting in the grass
The lizard won the fight because he didn‘t get eaten

This haiku is dedicated to my backyard wild birds and squirrels. I fed the birds and put out peanuts for the squirrels yesterday and put in fresh water in the bird bath yesterday and today. My birds and squirrels are having a party outside today in my backyard. They‘re happy.

Birds and squirrels having a party in the backyard
Taking baths, drinking water, scarfing down the food
like they haven‘t been fed in 4 or 5 days

200 Chicken Salad Recipes: Start a New Cooking Chapter with Chicken Salad Cookbook! | Tatiana Soto

This haiku is dedicated to the chicken salad I had for dinner last night that my mom brought home from Chicken Salad Chick. She brought it home before and it‘s really good. I still have some left over from last night. It‘s called Cranberry Kelli. My name is Kelli.

Chicken salad from Chicken Salad Chick.
They named it Cranberry Kelli and it‘s really good.
It has to be because it‘s named after me.

julieclair Love this haiku! And now I‘m craving Chicken Salad Chick. 😂 It‘s soooooo good. Cranberry Kelli is one of my favorite flavors. Along with Sassy Scottie, Barbie-que, and Olivia‘s Old South. And their grape salad is scrumptious. Now I‘m drooling, lol! 2d

Haiku | Richard Wright

Today, I posted my second haiku and I like haikus. They‘re fun. It didn‘t take me very long to write the one I just posted. The challenge seems to be with haiku trying to figure out what topics to write about and keeping it to just being 3 lines without ruining the structure of the haiku. Usually on #whatsnewwednesday when I‘m talking about what‘s going on with me, I have a lot to say.

Bookish . . . and Proud of It | Summersdale

Today‘s haiku is dedicated to what the Fable app says about me as a reader. My ex boyfriend called me a crybaby because I was always crying and I wanted to say,” I‘m a crybaby because you make me cry. You asshole.”

Fable says I‘m an empathy scholar.
I‘ve always been sensitive and I tried to develop a thick skin so nothing would bother me.
Maybe being sensitive is a strength not a weakness.

#haiku #haikuaday #haikuhive

lil1inblue Empathy is an amazing skill to possess, and it's definitely a strength! We could use a lot more of it in the world.💓 💓 💓 4d

Itchyfeetreader I liked sensitive and other words like it are considerate, kind, thoughtful, empathy and all seem like great words to me. Sometimes we need to claim them back. 4d

dabbe Damn straight being sensitive is NOT a weakness! It means you care. What greater human purpose is there than to simply care. But it's not so simple. It's a gift, and you got it. 💙🩵💙 4d

TEArificbooks I‘m an empath too. A dear friend and I were talking about this yesterday. We have strong emotions and we care for others. So we will love you fiercely but also be overly sensitive and take things to heart like a dirty look and twist to the point of crying. But we also are understanding and forgiving but maybe too forgiving and don‘t leave relationships when we should. We have extreme emotions but it is a strength and we need more empaths 4d

JenlovesJT47 This is great! I agree, being sensitive is a strength, not a weakness. Means you care about people and don‘t want to hurt them. 💙🩵💙 4d

AnnCrystal Agreed 💯%. Empathy is a superpower. Those who feel, make this world better. 👏🏼🐝👍🏼🥳🐝💝.

Empathy inspired Bruce Wayne to become Batman. Empathy gives Batman endurance. (edited) 3d

AnnCrystal From web

“Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share.“

“That's why it's so important. It separates us from them,“ 🦇

Spoken by Bruce Wayne to Ducard in Batman Begins.

This quote highlights how Batman's empathy, his compassion, is a core part of his identity and what distinguishes him from his adversaries. It's not just about the “no killing rule“ or aversion to guns, but specifically his capacity for empathy,

💖🦇💝. (edited) 3d

Eggs To be sensitive is to be fully alive 3d

CBee I love this - I‘m the same ♥️ Glad that mean ex boyfriend is out of your life - what a jerk! 3d

Haiku | Richard Wright

I‘m trying out haiku for the first time. I‘ve never written one before. This one is dedicated to Tom cat (the neighbor‘s cat). His owner named him Skye but we call him Tom or Tom cat. He was visiting us every day for months after my dog Toppy passed away but he doesn‘t visit anymore. This is a picture we took of him.

Tom cat doesn‘t visit my mom and I anymore.
We miss him. Where did he go?
Will he ever visit us again?

AnnCrystal 😍😻 how beautiful, I hope he visits again. Maybe Skye came to help you and your mom, because he sensed and wanted to help ease some of your sadness about your baby Toppy.

👏🏼🐝😘🐈🐝💝. Thanks for tagging, I'm glad you've joined HaikuHive 🐝💝. 3d

TheBookHippie Awe. He‘s quite handsome. 3d

AnnCrystal Oh my! 🙏🏼🐝💝. 1w

Itchyfeetreader Gosh I can‘t imagine that stickiness ! 1w

CBee @dabbe I‘d rather the dry heat any day! Honestly though, I just wish I lived somewhere more temperate. This is bonkers 🥵🫣😂 1w

CBee @JenlovesJT47 you know what I‘m saying then! So gross 🥵🤪 1w

CBee @Blueberry I worked in Yosemite for a summer years and years ago. The heat was totally bearable compared to here! 1w

Eggs I concur, y‘all on the humid heat- it gunks up my lungs, makes me short of breath, headaches! Beautiful haiku!! 1w

dabbe @CBee 🎯🩵🎯 1w

JenlovesJT47 I‘ve lived in central Florida my whole life, minus 2 years I went to college in California. We were near LA out in the desert. 30 mph winds every day. Would get in the 100s. Dry heat but still. As far as I‘m concerned, hot is hot is hot! But the humidity just adds a little extra blech to it 😆 1w

CBee @JenlovesJT47 oh yeah, hot is definitely hot and I‘m not fond, but humidity can kiss my grits 😂🥵 1w

CBee @Eggs same!! And thank you ♥️ (edited) 1w

lil1inblue I feel this one. Oof! 💙 6d

DebinHawaii Yep—I can totally relate. Not a humidity fan at all. 😓 6d
