winter in colorado
amidst days of freeze
golden warmth strongly breaks through
reminding of Hope
At (in)courage (great site!) we have been challenged to stretch our creative wings a little with a monthly artistic challenge. Since I would classify myself as artistically challenged--this must be for me! :0)
This month's challenge was to write a haiku set in winter. So I did. It took 5 minutes. (it's true, but I mention this only as a disclaimer to protect my artistically challenged ego--just sayin').
I'd love to have you join in the challenge! Head over to (in)courage and link up, or post a haiku here in my comments. If I can do it, you can too.
Dawn, I'm here to tell you, you only need five minutes! Yes--the HOPE we have in God warms even the most frozen heart.
ReplyDeleteWell done, friend...and THANKS for joining in!! :)
Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:5)
ReplyDeleteWhat true and beautiful words you wrote!
Good job, Dawn! I'm going to try it too -- never wrote one before! I think my hands are starting to sweat...but your assurance that it took only 5 minutes is helping!
ReplyDeletelovely! I was surprised at how quick I wrote mine out too! :)
