Prompt 178: Need

Prema of An Inner Space brings us this week's prompt, need. Here is her poem:


Needs…. Needs….
Needs….and Needs….
This….. That……..
This way…..That way…..
This much…..and That much
Oh………… Never Enough!

Tired of seeking
Gasping for breath
Gave up…
Sat down …..
For a rest pause!

The pause not only gave rest,
But also peace and a new direction.
Leading to the silence deep within
‘What was never sought for!’


Seeking stopped...!

Haiku Heights Anniversary Invitation

Leo (I Rhyme Without Reason) has invited One Single Impression to the anniversary celebration of his meme, Haiku Heights, from the 23rd of July at 10:10pm to the 30th of July at 10:09pm.

There is no topic or theme for that one week. You can write one or more haiku on any theme that you wish and share with us.

So get your pencils out — you have a full week to write any haiku of your choosing!

Thank you, Leo!

Prompt 177: Phantom

Here's to Felicity of Confessions of a Philosophy Junkie for this week's prompt, phantom, and here is her poem:

Most of the time,
I'm only half a person -
With half a name,
That no one utters.
A phantom limb -
That no one misses.
