Melinda said:
I like this line “raindrops fall as tears”. I may not understand poetry well but that’s a nice one.
readinpleasure said:
Thank you so Melinda. 🙂 I likened raindrops to tears to imply the tears Christians shed on the death of Christ at Easter.

Poignant collection leading up to the celebration of Easter.
Could you tell me more about Recuerda Mi Corazon … is there a weekly theme associated with it? I have looked several times, but cannot discern if there is. Thank you!
readinpleasure said:
Thank you Becca.
You’re right. There is no weekly theme associated with Haiku My Heart. Participants can write on any thing at all straight from the heart. Though I must say that Recuerda Mi Corazon is mainly a blog of Catholic themes, on Fridays we write on any theme that catches our fancy.
it would be good to have you there, Becca. 🙂
becca givens said:
Thank you for the explanation — I often wondered — I have seen the Blessed Mother frequently, and on those days, I didn’t know if the submitted had to include and/or be about her and Christ. Have a blessed day! 😀
readinpleasure said:
You’re very welcome Becca. You have a lovely day! 🙂
Hamish Gunn Fly Indie said:
Will nominate you for ghostwriting a Carpe Diem post in May…hope you don’t mind….!
readinpleasure said:
Hamish darling how could you do this to me? What on earth am I going to write on now? Please, I beg, tell Kristjaan that I’m declining ‘cos he has already booked me. 🙂
Gunn's Cabin Fever said:
I’ll help help, don’t you worry!
readinpleasure said:
But I’m worried. You say you will help me all the time and you don’t.
Gunn's Cabin Fever said:
I know but you must still believe me…!
readinpleasure said:
You’re asking a lot now dear friend 🙂
Gunn's Cabin Fever said:
Of course!
Just tell me what topic you’d like. Then I’ll do some research. I think you should do a piece about Ghanaian literature, or the wonderful Ghanaian haiku. It will take 5 minutes.
readinpleasure said:
Well I don’t know if there’s Ghanaian haiku though I know of a couple of people who write haiku here. But I just had a bright idea about an aspect of our culture. Will email you soon with it and you had better work fast on it to add photos,my dear.
Gunn's Cabin Fever said:
I’ll add photos and ideas…but who was that wonderful haiku poet you sent me a link of some time ago. You could…MUST include some of his haiku!
Don’t worry, I’ll add them by this time next year!
You made me laugh so much, hope you’re not too angry!
readinpleasure said:
How can I be angry with you for long? Thanks, I’ll add some of his haiku. I’m in awe of his work you know. He is Nana Fredua.
Now, what do you mean you’ll add by this time next year? I’m sending you the stuff next week after the Easter break!!
