Alright, are you ready? Put on your thinking caps and let’s get started with the greatest haiku challenge ever!
A story about transformation, personal growth, and spirituality can be hard to write. But what’s even harder? Compressing that entire story into a 3-line, 17 syllable (well, 17 moras if you wanna get technical) haiku.
If you forgot what a haiku is, it’s a 3 line poem. The first and last line contain 5 syllables, while the middle line contains 7. So 5–7-5.
So drop a comment with your own haiku about personal growth, transformation, spirituality, or life!
Here’s one to get you going. If Dylan Thomas had written zombie haikus, this would probably be it:
Zombie Haiku by Dylan Thomas (from Zombiehaiku.com)
Do not go gentle
into that zombie plagued night.
And take the shotgun.
Can’t wait to hear your haikus! And no, they don’t have to be zombie related

Calm your monkey mind
Focus on your in out breaths
Lose your selfishness
We are transmigrants
Passing through this veil of tears
Heading home to God
Self-Discovery
The journey unfolds
Spiritual trails and valleys
An intimate quest
Flowing thru Changes,
Breathe as Life unfolds, knowing
“I AM THAT I AM”.
Moderation, NOW.
Surrender it all to God,
Dancing in de-Light.
Watching eyes, seeing
I, submerged, peering outward,
Inward seeing eyes.
And another:
Illuminating
Flashes light the darkest hour
Enlightening TRUTH
Noiseless thoughts define
The who and what I am not
Proving that I am
Knowing that I am
Flowing with all existence
Grows the one we are
Water from tears grew
with effort grave and
undauntingly pushing on,
I have been reborn
Words can free your mind
Seventeen syllables said
in time with your heart
Starting Over (aka Divorce)
left life as it was
greatest challenges bring growth
finding the real me
haiku poetry
releasing inhibitions
sets us free to be
loving it always
making us shrink in oneness
makes us grow in one
…this is fun!!!
Emotional control
Like the loving one whole
The only goal
All thought is spirit
Aim for the fastest one
the peaceful son
To move to truth
all thought in time
From the divine rime
Summer’s sun has fled
Winters seclusion. silence
Time for reflection
Meditation is
Addiction to Perfection
“True Medication”
Grow further once more
And do it naturally
Actualize yourself
What I See
Insurmountable
Opportunities Every
Where You Look Today
In Spanish:
Llanto y lamento,
espacio y vacio,
por que me lamento
si vendra el Rocio
Muy bueno tu haiku. Me encantó!!!
In English:
Crying and sorrow
space and emptyness
why I’m worried
if the early rain will came
Beloved is heart
felt daily, enhanced by
poem, sketch, and song.
1.
I am created
In divine love and wisdom
Heaven’s child on Earth
2.
Belief not required
Just open your heart and know
Miracles find you
3.
I feel your spirit
And I’m honored to listen
To it’s whispered dreams
4.
When all falls away
And we surrender to love
Heaven rejoices
5.
The Beatles were right
All faiths, all people, always
Love is all there is
6.
A love which transforms
Beckons to my heart daily
I call it Reiki
7.
When seeking pure truth
Transformation is the key
Through divine free will
My Awakened Mind
Rapidly Progressing Too
Heaven Awaits I
My Awakened Mind
Rapidly Progressing Too
Heaven Awaits I
Loud Mute Voices In Life & Mind
Spoken Shame Are Words Of Love In Heart
Kiss Eye’s To Kiss The Soul
One Leaf never Travels Alone
Stand Alone In A Crowded Room
my examined life
reveals the past and present
creates the future
how to grow myself:
a hard yet so rewarding
task I must tackle
happiness: tricky
it’s not a destination
but a striven goal
Light reveals all sides (plural)
Darkness of your sol, “Surprise“
Immortal Light Shines
(I hope all who read this turned to “some1” n
said “soul without U” gotta love it, gotta get
it)
little eyes’n smile
Bigger heart them takes my heart
Little you big mind
It’s you’it’s me and…
above that it’s all beyond
It’s him, them and all
Love the love and jam
worship the momentum on
Kiss soul on veil storm
Follow Your Bliss NOW,
Where Ever It May Take You.
Follow Your Own Bliss!
The guide brings no light
She will teache you to turn on
your own sun of fate
flesh? soul? which are we?
Is matter an illusion?
Yes, but no less real.
what do you believe?
creation? evolution?
both — the supreme at play!
Contemplating life
Under a halo of leaves
a dove watches me
