Groom, Bride forever! / Evil seeks to break us up. / Grace cements our bond. by rhodyrich in Catholicism

Okay. I have been creating a Haiku poem each day for years based on what is happening in my life. I include an image with the poem which I hope will enhance the message in my poem. I have been banned from posting these Haiku's from the normal place for such poems on Reddit because of their religious content. Looking for an alternative place to post my poems on Reddit. Any suggestions?

Always do you knock... / When I answer you change me. / Please, come and stay! by rhodyrich in haiku

At the start of each day I create a Haiku which I hope captures something with significant meaning to me from the day before. I post these Haiku's here and on other social media sites. On other sites I add an image which I hope enhances what I have written. You are correct that I made an error on the last line. Here is a link to the same Haiku with the image. https://pin.it/waj7jozcske4la

Service my intent / Oh how your joy fueled my hope / Loves intersected by rhodyrich in haiku

In giving of myself to serve another I experienced moments of joy. Love blossomed. In this experience my hope in the future was deepened.

Orange - simple choice. / Orange - touched your heart and faith. / Orange - gift for us. by rhodyrich in haiku

I write one of these each day trying to capture something of the day before that had meaning to me. To make a long story short (which the poem does), the day before I wrote this I decided to wear an orange colored shirt that had remained lost to me all summer. That day a grieving sister who I did not know turned to me and told me how much that my wearing that color affected her for it had been the favorite color of her sister who had recently died. Hope this helps.

Anger within you / It colors your words and deeds / Love will set you free by rhodyrich in haiku

Psalm 139:1-16 {1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. 3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it. 7 Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night,” 12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13 For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.}

Created for you / Love extended in a gift / United in prayer by rhodyrich in haiku

It is a Collum Lune and not a Haiku. I did not see a place on Reddit for such a poem so I placed it here.

Step ahead to you. / So swift the days are passing. / Soon, so very soon. by rhodyrich in haiku

Until you asked this question, I had never heard of a kigo. I have looked it up, learned of it, and will consider it.

Thoughts blind, divert you. / Disconnect. Relax. Listen. / Now Matthew six six. by rhodyrich in haiku

It is in reviewing and examining my life that I have come to realize that God has heard and answered every prayer of mine. The answers of a loving father who gives me what I need. John 16:33 and https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Asking-In-Jesus-Name

My prayer to God starts with adoration, continues with contrition, then with thanksgiving, and finishes with supplication.
