Welcome back fellow islanders. I must apologize if you came today hoping for the next installation of the story from last week. I have been sick this week and just didn't have the energy to delve into that story just yet. Instead of forcing something out that I would be unhappy with, I decided to take a break from it, and let this prompt lead me elsewhere.
As I was drifting off to sleep yesterday, in a Nyquil induced stupor, the following haikus began to form in my brain:
Life is a journey
Best taken with open eyes
So you don't miss it
The colors and sounds,
Aromas and textures too
All these surround you
Appreciate all
Live, love, and never regret
Take none for granted
And you will know then
That you have lived life as well
As you could have done
Okay, I know it's not great, but Haiku is a completely new form for me, so these are all just expirements in the format.

Don't know if it's the Nyquil (which I must try) or your talent :), but these are fine haiku with reminders inside. Nicely done!
Great haiku(s). Hope your cold is in its last throes.
Great attempts at haiku(ing)!
Sounds good to me. Honest words.
