Links to the 24 Poets from last week’s challenge of CHILD and Grow and their haiku. All links open in a new window when clicked on.

I’m not going to do the whole ‘poems to check out thing’ any longer. Each time I don’t, I have to explain it’s because they are all so good. Well, they usually are all good. Sometimes a few do jump out and I let those poets know it on their comments sometimes if I have the energy and the fingers don’t hurt. (Part of my chronic pain affects my hands, especially making my fingertips tender, and when I type it’s like I’m hammering them into a rock.)

This week people went in some GREAT directions. Seriously check them out. You’ll enjoy.

Don’t Forget The Half:  Love Wins (Haiku)

William Thomas Engleson:

I Was Just Thinking of That

The child that I am,
that I was, that time has gone,
yet still I grow young.

I Was Just Thinking of That–Shi Rensa

The child that I am,
that I was, that time has gone,
yet still I grow young.

Yet still I grow young,
playful, easily side-tracked,
lost in misplaced thoughts.

Lost in misplaced thoughts,
I search the inner reaches
Of my memory.

Of my memory,
snippets of time that warm me.
For the rest, farewell.
