Today marks the first day of a month
long journey called AtoZ Challenge. Each day will be a new letter, a new word
and a new expression from my pen. Right now I have a lot of nerves, eager anticipation and expectation of a wonderful journey with my co-bloggers. I hope I do justice to the month and to my theme. But before I share with you my first expression I
would like to say a special thanks to Arlee Bird for initializing this wonderful concept and also join me in wishing him a very
Happy Birthday.
Few days back I shared my theme for
the month. You can read it in detail here. Daily I will share with you a few snippets of my normal day through
Haiku (a form of Japanese poetry). I will try to cover as much as I can in 17
syllables or less. Though my rendition is more an adopted English version and it doesn’t
follow the strict rule of 5-7-5 syllables of a Japanese Haiku.
A for Abundance
 |
| Day 1- A |
"laughter galore
love overflowing
Abundance"
Each day, every day in my life starts with a feeling of abundance, a feeling of having more than enough love and joy.
A special mention of a special friend "Vinay aka Leo" who blogs at artofleo. He not only introduced me to "Haiku" but taught me everything that I know about the form. I never had an opportunity to thank him for his support and patience. So here it is Leo I am ever thankful to you for not only guiding me but also being so patient with me inspite of my million questions and zillion mistakes. He is also doing AtoZ, please show him some love friends.

ReplyDeleteyou rock at haikus now! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know although I can manage poetry, I can never write Haiku. Hats off to you Sfurti :) Hope to read many more Haiku on this page. ( i have heard the plural of Haiku is also Haiku, is that true)?
ReplyDeleteCrisp. That's abundance for you :)
ReplyDeleteGood one Sfurti...wishing you abundance of happiness.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to start the series. Very well written, Sfurti!
ReplyDeleteWhere this is Love and Laughter, Abundance follows surely! Good one!
ReplyDeleteNice Haiku ! Wish you every thing in Abundance.
ReplyDeleteI'm also wishing I'm going to make it through the challenge - it's my first time to try.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions, yes I am satisfied but there is still a lot more I hope to do in this life. It keeps me busy. ;)
Looks like Haiku is quite famous. Even Sirisha did it. All the best. I am also writing on my motherhood experiences.
ReplyDeleteBest,

Why did I not think of something so snappy as this? Way to go Sfurti. I am looking forward to 'KNOW' you more this April, than what I already do :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great feeling.. that of having all you want.. and a rare one too. As for summing it up in a Haiku.. that's Amazing. Never have been able to write one.
ReplyDeleteI never got a hold of writing haikus! this is a good one :) am writing about emotions..
