Reader Responses to Thankful Thursday Haikus

October 22, 2011 by OneMommy

As some of you may remember from my Elevator Pitch post, I’ve been participating in 31 DBBB.  Today is day 22:   “Pay Special Attention to a Reader.”

If you are a regular reader of mine, you know that I do a Thankful Thursday post every week.  This past week’s post was written in a little different style; they were all haikus.

I challenged my readers to give it a try with things they were thankful for that week. And my readers rock!  I got some great haikus in response that I want to share with you all.

From Cindy, of Stich-n-Keep:

Supportive husband
Wonderful!…a gift from God
Thirty-one great years!

Amazing daughters
Each with a unique spirit
Loved no matter what!

Three grandchildren…Joy!
Thank God daily for the gift
They fill up my life!

Love, friends, happiness
Grateful for so many gifts
The future looks bright!

From the M Half, of The M Half of the M-n- J Show:

Cooler weather now
Travel to Colorado
Book club with the girls

Missing all my boys
Seeing family and friends
Returning home soon

And another version of poetic response from Kristen, of The Preppy Girl in Pink:

The rays of sun shining through the clouds
God’s smile finding a way to those of us on earth
looking for the warmth on our skin and our hearts

Come on, you know you want to give it a try!  What are you thankful for lately?  (No, the former teacher in me won’t take off points if it isn’t strictly in haiku format!)
