Face the horrible
The waves of sadness and pain
Find strength together
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.
Seattle’s Rain Arrived
Raindrops tap windows
Gusts rattling the dried leaves
Autumnal cold rain
The predicted reasons have come. Trees bend in the breeze, leaves drift across my drive. Summer’s memory flutters within the dried, damp leaves.
West of invective
At times I weary
All this invective burning
I’m charred and hollow
An evening walk
As the darkness falls
Light echoing the day’s joy
Fading to slumber
Fears
A strange fear of mine
To vanish into time’s mists
Forgotten notebooks
A Friday evening haiku for my knee
Though no injury
Knee pain, stiffness and soreness
Ibuprofen saves
Internet Weirdness
So full of weirdness
The internet is awesome
Life in the future
Wednesday, traveling at high speed: A Haiku
Wednesday had gone past
So very much has been done
Longing for the trees
Awakened, now returning to sleep
Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence
Monday’s Mania: A Haiku
Monday’s mania
Subdued by evening calmness
Autumn night’s stillness
Frenetic days:
I’m not fond of them.
Such is life.
Respond, work,
Move along.
