beautiful…
seems to (break the beauty – sorry, can’t think how to express this properly) – is the lamb Jesus?
Thank you. ♥ No, the lamb isn’t Jesus, but that is a beautiful interpretation. Actually I wrote this about five years ago, while I was still very much hurting, but wanting so badly to find my voice so that I could help others who hurt by encouraging them to speak. At the time, honestly, I was thinking of any and every abused person (the lambs) and that often they are isolated (not part of a herd) and often not listened to (heard).
wow – that’s interesting – I can start getting quite mystical about things like this
In a sense, Jesus as the lamb takes/took upon himself all our hurts and vulnerability.
btw – I like your booklist – have just got the Buddha and the Borderline on kindle
thanks again
best wishes
OH GREAT, I am so glad you bought that book. It’s hard to put down, very honest and poignant it is.
Well yes, you have a great point. I see that I, along with many others before me, with me and after I am gone, have a job to do – of helping and healing.
XO, thank you so much for your comment. Love and peace to you!
Excellent! I love plays on words. And with a message, too.
I am glad you noticed the purposeful misspelling. Thank you for the nice comment, Anita. XO
This beautiful haiku brought tears to my eyes….
AW, THANK YOU! ♥ I am at a loss for words. I wrote this five years ago wanting so badly to find my own voice so I could help others! Finally it is here for all to read.
Yes you did, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Yay, Stuart, you got it. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
These are so great – I know you’re anti-FB – is there any way I can post these to our haiku page & credit you? What would I do, link your site? Or is that against the copyright rules? These are SOOOOO GREAT! We have a bunch of animal rights folk/organic foodies who would especially love them. I’m not much of a haikuer, I just manage the page & keep things going, although I can do the 5-7-5, mine just aren’t particularly inspired. Let me know! Hugs!
That would be fine, yes, go ahead and link to my site. Thank you for asking! I appreciate that. Thank you so much for the compliments. Well, I am calling them UNhaiku, because the more I read about Haiku, the more I think they don’t follow the rules. LOL. I would love to read yours! ♥ But yes, please share, if you think someone else will enjoy them I am all for that.
Yes, I co-run a haiku site (on Facebook, the Haiku Wednesday Fiasco, its called). We call it the Fiasco bc “we use the terms ‘haiku’ and ‘wednesday’ very loosely here”. We have a few published authors, one just published her 1st volume of poetry a few weeks ago (Marian Kent, on Amazon, crap, I forgot to order this morning! I thought I mentioned it, Bipolarmuse has joined, I thought you mentioned that you weren’t into FB, but if you do go back on PLEASE join us, it’s a fun page & community & a bunch of us have become real friends. My haikus tend to be odes to pharmaceuticals, lol.
I will let you know what kind of “likes” and comments your haikus get. Thanks for allowing me to share, I love them, & no thievery goes on in the page, so no worries.
Should I do that copyright thing on my blog too? Like you, I am a writer, my prose is in a blog of its own but if you would care to read & critique I’d be happy to share link & password For that reason, I am copyright-minded, not so much for my mental blog.
That’s a clever name! Yes, you are correct, I don’t do FB, but I am more than happy to have you share whatever you’d like. I thank you for asking and for linking to my site. Odes to pharmaceuticals, THAT is great!
Thank you, I appreciate that, it’s so kind of you to let me know and I am interested, yes!
Well, it can’t hurt. It scans the pages automatically. Any protection is better than none at all.
Confused. Do you have a different blog? If so, would love to see (would not want your password) what you have.
Am looking for contact info for you but not finding, if you want to send me your e-m addy I’ll send you the password – it isn’t my blog password, the posts are all password protected, that’s all. My best friend logs on & critiques for me, I only have 4 of the vignettes up now, out of about 20, & only 1 of them is 100% done, so open to critique on all pieces. Hugs!
Go to my Gravatar, the flowers… and click, there is my public email and links to my blogs. OH, I understand now. Laughing. Oi! Send me an email with the password and I will be so happy to read. XO sweetie
Beautiful! And you did find your voice beautifully. We are all ears, waiting to hear more.
Aw, Selasie, THANK YOU, that is such a kind and sweet comment/compliment. I appreciate it. XO
