Thanks so much for this post, Colleen. I’ve read and loved the powerful messages and visual imagery that the Haiku form of poetry is known for, Yet I’ve never attempted to write one. Now I plan to read the links you have so kindly provided and make an attempt at it. I’m looking forward to creating something worthy of your poetry challenge.😊
