What I’m Willing To Do: Haiku Response

Backstory: A poetess, Mimi Allin, posted this question on Facebook (a question which, I think, all creative people face):

what are you willing to do
for peace
what are you willing to do
for love
what are you willing to do
for money
what are you willing to do
for art
In response, I wrote this haiku:
For peace, love, and art
I will do how I’m inspired.
For money? I’ll trust.

My Christmas Gift: Give Peace Haiku

I must be always/
positive, and give peace on/
earth, good will to all.

— The backstory for this poem was my take on Longfellow’s poem “I heard the Bells”, and also a haiku inspired by a prose piece Kate Phillips wrote. You can read it here.

Turn My Face To The Sun: Haiku

Just past noon, I turn
my face to the Sun, bask in/
warmth, know God loves me.

*(added to it the next day) —
The old Saint and I
basked in the warmth of the same
Sun, and both rejoiced.

Climate Change Cured Simply: Haiku

What if it is just/

that simple? Climate change cured /

by our repentance?

Back story: Marnie (CreationGirl.com and SpiritTreeFarms.com) posted an Instagram reel quoting the Old Testament, about healing the Earth.

In it, she said: “Do you worry about the state of our nation? The state of our world? About droughts, fires, the environment, the future of your children, and grandchildren?
If so, this word of encouragement from the Father found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 is for you:

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

It’s not about everyone else changing. It’s about me changing. It’s about you changing. We can all be more kind, more loving and forgiving. As we change, our world changes.”
