Hope springs eternal
unsettling crystal views,
cite hopeless dogma.
Stagnant crystal pools
once befouled, dry up, hopeless
if not for the rain.
Luminous night orbs
mystified wide-eyed dreamers
set their hope in stone.

Ah…Sybaritic, today’s Dictionary.com Word of the Day. I can so relate! Especially this time of year, when despite my best intentions not to make resolutions, I subliminally do resolve to eat a healthier diet and exercise more. It’s like my psyche is programmed to click into diet mode when the clock clicks one. But…there is one thing I am weak for. What is the thing that I won’t deny myself if the opportunity presents…that sweet sybaritic indulgence that I can’t resist? Cheesecake! So, of course I am featuring it in today’s haiku! Enjoy!
My diet is quashed
By sybaritic pleasures…
Cheesecake, just a taste!

From the Original Addams Family…Lurch looks in on Cousin It.
Just for fun, some online friends and I started a rolling message game of exploring the word IT. You know…someone started IT. Then someone asked, “What is IT?” Another posted, “I don’t get IT.” And another, “You still haven’t given IT a chance.”… “Get with IT”…”IT is not that difficult”…you get IT…IT went on for hours…just when we thought we had put IT to rest, someone would start IT all over again, and IT would have us going. IT was impossible to resist. I can honestly say that IT was great fun, even if IT made us all a little crazy. I would do IT again if I could get someone to play along with IT. Okay…okay…there’s a Haiku somewhere in all of this. I’ll let IT rest and and get on with IT…:) IT just happens to be the inspiration for my Haiku for Haiku Horizon’s prompt FIND.
Finding It
It makes you happy
so go out there and find it
but first…what is “it”?kat ~ 5 January 2016

True eternity
is not a destination
a continuum?
kat ~ 4 January 2016
I like to double-check my format when doing a RonovanWrites Haiku. Once I figured out the rules, it is hard for me to write a Haiku any other way. At any rate here are the checks…
-3 lines – 5/7/5 (Check)
-Sentence – Lines 1-2: True eternity is not a destination. (Check)
-Sentence – Lines 2-3: Is not a destination a continuum? and (CHECK!)…I really like the way that second sentence flipped into a question! Sometimes I even surprise myself! 🙂
This week’s Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge employs the words “Vast” and “Clear” (or in the case of this offering, thesaurus researched representations of the words in question: Vast – Eternity / Clear – True).

It’s wise not to try
Containing life in a box
Free souls will spill out.
More than eye candy
Jars of savory, sweet spice
Fancy a tongue tryst.
The best containers…
Boxes, jars, pottery, skin
Keep things out…or in?
