We often struggle
To be someone notable
And not be ourselves
Category: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
A Restless Night
Dreaming I’m awake
My own mind is sadistic
Now dawn approaches
Not feeling too well rested today. Ugh!
Happy Friday, everyone.
Oh, Editing! A Haiku
First: unload my mind
Next: shape them into beauty
Editing’s anguish
Tonight: A Haiku
Sitting in the dark
Reflecting upon this day
Springtime and pollen
Bestow: A Haiku
Gifts given with grace
Seeking to bestow our love
Filling both our hearts
Tonight’s Sunset: A Haiku
The descending sun
Vibrant colors bursting forth
With life resetting
Went for a walk this evening. Met my Fitbit step goal, got some lovely photos, and did some thinking. A great way to spend an hour.
Don’t Let Fears Win
Within modern life
Fears can twist out of control
Yet our souls greater
Fears and insecurities cause much mischief if left unchecked.
And there’s always a,way forward.
Sunday Night
So ends the weekend
Sunlight behind the mountains
Dawn is coming soon
Time for a Friday Haiku
A Friday haiku
What is the root of its joy?
Delightful freedom
Happy Friday, everyone!
A Hokey Haiku
Put your right foot in
And then put your right foot out
What it’s all about
Feeling a bit silly tonight. Hope your week’s going well.
