I Write Her Weekly Haiku/Senryu Challenge – Interpretations Wrap-up

Published on December 31, 2019December 26, 2019 by Susi Bocks11 Comments

It’s been wonderful to share this weekly challenge with the readers and participants. Every week there was an excitement about what I would present, what would thrill the writers and the words it inspired. It was fun! But as they say “All good things come to an end.” How appropriate this is the last day of the calendar year so that we can end it on this recap.

Hi everyone! I will be taking a writing break for the next couple of weeks as my focus needs to be elsewhere. This means the IWH Interpretations Challenge will be on hold until December 3rd. But I will continue to have daily posts of previously unpublished pieces for you to enjoy which I scheduled in advance. Feel free to comment, I’ll still check-in and respond.

So for now, I will leave you with the recap of the Interpretations submissions from last week. Please go check out the authors!

Be well!
