Knight on white horse shining armor bright,

Shine your mighty saving light,

Give hope in darkness winning the fight.

Now I feel like Green Lantern but with armor.

You comment made me giggle 🤭.

I really loved today’s heiko inspiration.

Thank you.

I hope you like this one, even though it is more on the heroic sacrifice side of poetry.

I LOVED it! Coincidentally it feels Holy Spirit aligned to me, in sync with messages about light I shared at the start of this day.

May no heroes need sacrifices anymore.

I truly pray for hope, light, love and peace everywhere.

This is one of the wholesome ones and I would've posted it now if I hadn't earlier. https://theblackknight.substack.com/p/fishing

This was my very first experience with you, when I had to google what heiko is.

You hooked me on heiko.🎣👌🏻🤍

I have written over a hundred Haiku and absolutely love them. Following the 5 7 5 syllable formula that works for English/Western Haiku is the best way to write them :D

Be it those mired in despairing lies or blinded by chilling truth, even in ages other than ours, people need to be inspired to see beyond the dirt or sky.

Another nice and forceful blade of a haiku.

You always find just the right picture to go with your verse. To inspire hope is one of the greatest gifts you can have. And you do.

Thank you :) I hope my Terran-Tuesday poem that I am writing now will also inspire.

Please, enjoy your day! I am in the process of composing my Terran-Tuesday tanka from your comments on chapter 4 of The Province of Terrans.
