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

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))) ❤️
Intriguing – I am thinking the haikus are about responding to a challenge …
