How nice to know you ‘anticipate’ and enjoy my Haikus as much as I enjoy creating them. <BR/><BR/>As for doing them ‘in the moment’ … if I had to think about them ahead of time, methinks they’d never get written or published at all. I need the pressure of ‘time-sensitivity’ to free myself from the ‘critic within’ who obsesses endlessly about such things. Seriously! I’d be paralyzed if I didn’t compose all of my posts at the keyboard (as if they were emails to friends) … the way I’ve written in journals lo these many years with my pencil.<BR/><BR/>I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend my friend. Thanks for taking time out of your Sunday to visit.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-51116302504366071952008-03-09T06:25:00.000-07:002008-03-09T06:25:00.000-07:00My brain seems to have gone into silly mode this w...My brain seems to have gone into silly mode this week--I definitely remember reading this post, but I never commented. (And you know that's just not me! ;) I've always got two cents to put in!)<BR/><BR/>I so look forward to your haikus, Storyteller--and to learn that you don't do them ahead of time?

I never seem to write it ahead of time however because I prefer to let these posts (here and on my other blog) be more spontaneous. I hope you’ll use the other post another day. <BR/><BR/><B>SSP</B> – Yez … I’ve got a folder with memes that have been stacking up for months now. There’s a group that does Meme Monday and I’m thinking about saving most (if not all) future meme for that day.<BR/><BR/><B>Akelamalu</B> – Thanks … and I believe I’ve seen it previously but resisted participating until today on the spur of the moment ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Kathryn</B> – No pressure from me on this! I tend to do the memes that capture my imagination (like Message in a Bottle and Photobucket) and let others sit in a folder for someday when I have no inspiration.<BR/><BR/><B>Chuck</B> – Not to worry. I feel no pressure. I just enjoy hassling ya a bit! LOL I’ve let LOTS of memes gone unnoticed (some totally ignored and/or un-remarked upon) … and I don’t want either of my blogs to fall into a ‘rut’ … yet I do enjoy Wordless Wednesday, T-13, and Haiku Fridays because they provide structure with freedom of expression (if that makes sense). Meme Monday may address the ‘meme’ issue if I decide to do it on a semi-regular basis. Yes I did notice you nominated by blog and I’m honored indeed. I’m thinking about who I might want to nominate in turn … and will letcha know when I get ‘a round tuit’ … I promise! Feeling’s mutual friend!<BR/><BR/><B>LceeL</B> – I’m feeling wonderful at this high praise from a ‘Ku’ master like yourself! Your ‘100 word challenge’ Haiku left me ‘wordless’ … seriously! Looks like that might be a ‘Thursday’ event … so maybe I’ll take it up on my other blog since I do T-13 here weekly.<BR/><BR/><B>Janet</B> – I love Haiku Friday … I just felt a bit flustered this morning because I was busy yesterday and didn’t get ‘computer’ tasks tended to the way I usually do.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate all of you visiting and commenting on my Haiku today. I hope you’re having a fabulous Friday and that the weekend is wonderful!<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-9057074911196380912008-03-07T10:14:00.000-08:002008-03-07T10:14:00.000-08:00fun 'ku...friday does tend to creep up on me somet...fun 'ku...<BR/><BR/>friday does tend to creep up on me sometimes!the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-70761426818724987472008-03-07T09:11:00.000-08:002008-03-07T09:11:00.000-08:00Great 'ku.
