Dear Blogger,<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am writing after a long gap.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know I had promised many things like regular writing, quote cards and more. I admit that I failed in keeping that promise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Believe me when I say, " I missed writing". I know I had a breakthrough start in April for A to Z Challenge. Last year after my debut (where I managed to post almost all April!!) I was so sure about this year's successful stint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was wrong.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everything was ready, from theme revel to all the words for which I was to write haiku. However, I could not post after letter E. That means, I was a "One Week Wonder".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since everything was planned and good to post, I missed a BIG thing - scheduling them beforehand.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, what will happen now?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, I will post them all. I will just present them as a series of posts from letter F to Z. I hope I will not Fail and get Zero marks in keeping promises.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would like to THANK YOU ALL who kept looking for my posts and were disappointed. I am really grateful for all the support and cheering comments on my haiku posts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sincerely,</div>
<div>
Jui</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Around this time last year I was looking for a blog that would help me:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- participate in some exciting writing challenge</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- motivate me to write everyday</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- something I have never tried in my blogging stint</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- find and interact with amazing bloggers</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" target="_blank">A To Z Challenge</a> that granted all my wishes in the list.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my second year participating and like last year, I missed theme revel post opportunity.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last year, I shared quotes from some well known and famous books as a part of my <a href="https://positivecookies.blogspot.com/p/a-to-z-challenge.html" target="_blank">A to Z debut</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year I have decided on writing a short poetry format called "haiku" for each letter. I will select one appropriate word and write haiku in 5-7-5 format.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so excited for this event. I will see you all on first day of April (No April Fool Jokes, promise!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">P.S. I have tweaked my site design for a fresh look and set the mood for new writing. How are you preparing for this challenge?</span></div>

Monday Greetings everyone!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMS9cYufFzKgdCWfZSkVkgSqOM3P6ig1uYmUxOoyajFzXUF3bgegDSSkvZ1n7G2Ab_nWA152dPX1YfGYB5fA_L_UWtF-OvEVwG_DbfHe6KA9knmWjxGP2F9Z5aUYyQq1chg_BqTjHerY/s1600/animals-antenna-ants-842401.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMS9cYufFzKgdCWfZSkVkgSqOM3P6ig1uYmUxOoyajFzXUF3bgegDSSkvZ1n7G2Ab_nWA152dPX1YfGYB5fA_L_UWtF-OvEVwG_DbfHe6KA9knmWjxGP2F9Z5aUYyQq1chg_BqTjHerY/s320/animals-antenna-ants-842401.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">up and down, rushing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">fire ants in the morning</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">expect adventure</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This haiku is inspired by some fire ants I saw this morning in my garden. I have always been an admirer of ants. How tirelessly these small creatures work...everyday is work day for them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is fun to watch the ants go from one point to other, very organized and disciplined. NOT taking a break...I maintain a safe distance (the ant bite stings pretty bad!) and try to figure out the way where they go on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On that note, wish you all a wonderful week ahead.</div>
