Haiku Share / Contest
Haiku is a form of poetry created in Japan. It is the expression of a thought within a single breath. Like Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms, Haiku are a physical expression of the soul of the Japanese people. To honor the Japanese people during their time of crisis, OM Times and Humanity Healing are sponsoring a Haiku Share.
Share your Oneness with the Japanese people! Send YOUR Love, Light, Prayers, Blessings and Healing energy to the People of Japan in the form of a Haiku.
Wake of disaster,
Lost souls of the Japanese
Petals on water
~Harukaze
Richmond, VA USA
The poem does not have to be about the recent Japanese earthquake or the resultant crisis. It may reflect your impressions of the Japanese people, their land or culture, or any Blessing, Love, Support, Comfort or Healing thought for Japan that you may have. Your Haiku will carry your intention and energy for the Healing of a nation, and every time it is read, that Blessing will ripple out. We are ONE Humanity!
If your poem is selected; it will be featured both in the mid-April issue of OM Times Magazine and a video by Humanity Healing. The selection panel will consist of the OM Times Editorial Team and Japanese poets.
Entries for the Haiku Share/contest will be accepted through 10 April. Email your Haiku to: Haiku@omtimes.com. Be sure to include your name and location with your Haiku (see example of Haiku above). Entries for the contest will be accepted through 10 April.
