Five Haikus

NaPoWriMo Day 18 Today, I’d like to challenge you to write your own poem that provides five answers to the same question – without ever specifically identifying the question that is being answered.

Five Haikus

I. just drop everything
take a deep and solemn breath
relax find your strength

II. it is essential
to strengthen your inner core
this balances you

III. close your eyes inhale
count one to ten hold your breath
eyes open exhale

IV. find your inner self
meditate as you relax
journey with your soul

V. the power is you
the courage is within you
search and go for it

  3. Beautiful, SweetMich! Such great advice! I try to do these every day! The breathing “exercises”, the relaxing, the focusing on what is important…And while I’m on walks I pray and mediate, too. 🙂 All of it is so helpful to find the calm, peace, focus, etc. 🙂
    What an interesting and cool photo…so much in there to see!
    (((HUGS))) ❤️
