Zen.. wonderful.. I tried my best.
Good one, Kerry. Thank you.
Hi Kerry, I did one thinking about Zen and one just thinking about life (which may actually be more zen). Posted the zen one, though the other quite a bit better as a poem, so maybe post both. k.
I'm not very Zen, but the link to the Zen poems helped. Very interesting to try and get myself into that way of thinking!
Great 55 plus. I needed cleansing expression.
Hello everyone,
Well this was fun :D posting my poem "Intuition", for the Flash 55 plus challenge. Hope you all like it.
Thanks Kerry for this amazing challenge! :D
Lots of love
xoxo
Great prompt...I did it! Thanks.
Karin, by all means post both. The 55 lends itself to several attempts.
Please don't un-Mr.Linky me tonight. I worked hard, went to copy my link, and then I discovered that I missed the Zen request until I saw it at the end.
The best I did was to decline but MENTION THE SITE. Perhaps some of my readers will go there.
It might have been fun. Tomorrow? Probably not, we are still very, very busy.

Hi Jim, the Zen is an OPTIONAL part of the challenge. Any 55 word poem is suitable for this prompt.
For those interested in a few basic steps to writing koan, here is a link to a previous mini-challenge which might shed some light. The only problem is the 55 word count, because this seems to come out a little shorter.

I have rather an antipathy to Zen(don't ask--it comes from my first marriage) but I have no intention of missing a 55. I'll let othersa be the judge of how Zen my effort is, but thanks, Kerry, for keeping this meme alive. Will comment when I can, as lots of work ahead today.
Great challenge! I followed De Jackson to your site. Glad you did.
Thank you, Kerry for hosting the 55 and the plus as well... I love the image! :)
Sorry, Candy, your page would not load on my PC or tablet.
I tried the Mr Linky widget again and it said I was already added. You can get to my page from mt comments. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Tech is not my forte
Oh, I missed the magic~ I will make some Zen tea and return to indulge in these offerings~ I love the photo, I am working on a poeTEA journal, these days.
Hi Kerry ~~ Running late as usual. I took your advice and posted an oldie, March 2009, version. Smoke. Smoked.
That was a nice interview you did with Sherry, I was glad to learn of your teaching and of your kids.
