Inspired by Time …
Hi everyone. While I should have been sleeping through the wee small hours of Monday into Tuesday …
though waked and in pain
early morn poetic muse
gifted eight haiku
So, silver linings and all that, at least something creative came out of my complete insomnia, and I’ve written 8 … ahem, yes, 8 … poems for Vocal’s Time Capsule Haiku Challenge. 😉
Vocal’s criteria for this Haiku challenge is simply a 5-7-5 syllable format without any of the usual rigid requirements of nature, etc. They ask the poet to: ‘Write a haiku about time. A time capsule is a historic cache of information that is intended to communicate the spirit of that time with people in the future. For this challenge, we are asking you to capture how a haiku can be a vehicle to represent a period of time or express the feeling of time.’
You can find my poems below …
1. Remains HERE
2. Reality? HERE
3. Layers HERE
4. Souled Out HERE
5. A World in a Grain HERE
6. Legacy HERE
7. For Posterity HERE
8. Before the Drought HERE
At 17 syllables each, they’re nice and short 😁 I’d love to know what you think! And I would be delighted if you could read and heart … even just one or two! To heart and/or comment, you’ll need to sign in to Vocal, which is free to do.
Right, now I’m going to attempt an afternoon nap, and I’ll see you all later …
Thanks for all your support! Hugs 🤗💕🙂
I don’t know how you function when your sleep is so compromised, Harmony, but it doesn’t hurt your creativity at all. Excellent poems, my friend. I hope you’ve gotten some rest since this post. Hugs.
Thanks so much, Diana! 💕🙂
Hearted and commented. Loved them all.
I plan to give it a go, but haven’t come up with something I like yet.
Thanks so much, Michele. If you do give it a go, good luck! 💕🙂
All lovely, Harmony. I’ve left comments and shared on twitter.
Thanks so much, Robbie! 💕🙂
I’m so sorry you’re having trouble sleeping. Pain sucks.
Your haikus are fantastic!
I’m so thrilled you loved the haikus! Thanks so much, Priscilla 💕🙂
They’re fantastic, Harmony – you’re such a superb poet. Hugs, Toni xx
That’s so wonderful of you to say! Thanks, Toni 💕🙂
Amazing haikus, Harmony! At least, greatness came out of that insomnia. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, Yvi! Yep, if I have to be awake, I enjoy visits from my muse 💕🙂
These were all great, Harmony. Hearted and shared them all. My favorites were A World in a Grain and Legacy. Wonderful collection all the way around!
Fantastic. Thanks so much, Mae 💕🙂
You’re a wonderful poet, Harmony. I loved this collection — all insightful and heart-grabbing. ❤️
Thanks so much, Gwen! You’ve brought smiles to match the glorious sunset I’m watching 😁 💕🙂
Some great poems, Harmony. Well done!
Thanks, Joan! 💕🙂
Pain is a great motivator, just not one I’d pick given a choice! Take care of yourself, Harmony.
Agreed! Lols. Thanks, Jacqui 💕🙂
Loved it, Harmz. I considered joining that one, but as of yet, my efforts have required a lot more than 17 syllables.
Thanks, Staci! For some reason that 2 — 4 spell in a morning is when my brain likes the short syllables most! 💕🙂
