Haiku Blessings

In my post, 10th Anniversary Edition One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp, I said that “Writing haiku is often a record of blessings for me.” I will share a few examples in a few posts.

some water
for the chrysanthemum

one poem not many
seagulls in blue sky

grey skies
and colors in the garden
blue jays

“sunrise” was published by hedgerow #133, autumn 2020; Caroline Skanne, Editor. And was the Daily Haiku: February 16, 2021, Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog .

morning work
one step at a time
with gratitude

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

10th Anniversary Edition One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp

I began this site on March 11, 2017 with the first blessing recorded in a handwritten journal, inspired by One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp (2010, Zondervan). I wrote, “raindrops on branches of the birch tree December 2012.”

Recently I bought the 10th Anniversary Edition of One Thousand Gifts. I wished to read the “Introduction for the 10th anniversary edition the gift of grace upon grace,” written by Ann Voskamp in late October 2020. And I like the ribbon bookmark. The Page for the book at Ann’s site has a picture of the cover and more information.

I will share more in a future post. Writing haiku is often a record of blessings for me.
