My first year at AtoZ Challenge and I am not
jittery or nervous yet. I don’t know why? But I am sure I will sail through it.
I can see many raising their eyebrows and thinking she has no idea what she has
gotten herself into. It’s true I have no idea. May be that’s why I am not
nervous, maybe that’s why I am so eagerly looking forward to it.
Initially I thought of going ahead
without a theme. It somehow seemed easier but soon I realised I want to
streamline my thought process. I want to define what I want to write because I
have a tendency of going random and wild, writing random and long. So it will
always be better to create a boundary for my ever wandering heart and pen.
Now came the question of how do I
define my creativity? How do I limit the pen?
Answer was actually quite easy. There
are a few things I am persistent and consistent about. I chose two things that
I love a lot. Poetry more specifically “Haiku” and my kids. I wanted to write
something which included both. After a lot of thinking through, I have narrowed
it down to the following: (Drum Rolls please)

“A day in my life”
Each day, every day in my life right
now is full of surprises and excitement. There are so many words always flowing
in the air and floating in my head. What is better than giving a small peek of
my life?
And what is better than a Haiku, an
art form that restricts and still sets you free and wild?
“Laughter, tears
Never-ending wilderness
A day in my life”
A Haiku dedicated to my theme :). I hope I do justice to the form and remain committed to it for the whole month.

My April A to Z Challenge 2014 Theme Reveal #atozchallenge #atozreveal
A haiku is one form of poetry that I just can't get a handle on, and I admire people who are so successful at it. I wish you luck. If you're not nervous, that's a good thing. You'll be longing for next April, once you finish this one successfully. Believe me.
ReplyDeleteSimple with a bit of a challenge, I like it! ;)
ReplyDeleteNothing to be nervous about, and I really like your theme choice. Day-to-day life offers the best stories. See you around in April.

ReplyDeleteYou know I always wanted to learn about haiku. I have read many, but, the concept still beats me. Hope I get to learn about it from your posts. :D Good luck Sfurti darling and a very happy birthday again. :)
ReplyDeleteHaiku is something that leaves me spellbound each time I read one, because of the ' small but powerful' getup :) All the best with this.... I'm sure you're going to rock it, Sfurti :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely haiku that describes your theme real well :) looking forward to read more.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the challenge, Sfurti. Haikus are a great choice!
ReplyDeleteI did the AtoZ Clallenge two years ago, and had to skip last year due to illness (mine) and a lot of other things going on. I'm tempted again this year...and your theme tempts me even more!
