This is so beautiful, Carrie. Thank you for a lovely Christmas gift!
Thank you, Fuji. This was my first attempt at Haiku, so I was a little nervous about sharing.
Hello Carrie, my first thought was your comment to Fuji about feeling nervous, so please let me just say that you have nothing at all to feel nervous about. If you look a little deeper as to why we write, it’s because we feel the need to express what we feel, and to share it. And we should never ever let the inner doubt surface.
I know every member sees The Voice.club as family based,so why feel nervous among friends?
Thank you for the Christmas Haiku – it is a wonderful piece of poetry. Thought provoking (Yes, Life Endures) Thank you Carrie – and a very Happy Christmas to you and all your loved ones.
Thank you for your kind words, Eric. I’m so grateful for this site and all the wonderful people, both willing to share their writing and to pass considerate comments on my own. I always feel nervous about trying new things but it is nice to be able to share amongst friends. I tend to like being a bit more descriptive in my writing, so the very severe limit in haiku is definitely a challenge. And previously I’d though 100 word flash fiction was hard 🙂
Hi Carrie – I understand what you said above about being “a little nervous” 🙂 Now I study handwriting, so I volunteered for the Voice.club to write these Haiku. I also get a bit nervous trying to scribe using a “digital pen”, but as Eric said, we are a family friendly club among friends. Using the apple pen is not as accurate as authentic pen and paper, so please forgive my messy script. My passion is to promote handwriting script, because I feel sometimes the things we lose, we miss the most later on. I truly enjoyed writing out your Haiku, a very inspiring gift for Christmas eve.

Thank you Culture Dragon for your comment, and for taking the time to scribe out the Haiku for all of us. I actually have to handwrite my stories / poetry before typing it up. I find it very hard to get my initial ideas into anything resembling order if I try to type it up immediately. And it has to be a pencil, not a pen. We writers can be a strange breed 🙂 My text does change very much between the handwritten and typed up versions though.
