Unclothed while at school
My adolescent terrors
While birds remain unphased
This was a response to a poetry prompt on Instagram. This is what popped into mind.
A Nightmare Haiku
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.
Haiku Friday, July 24
grey day’s ending
sunlight moves across petals
hummingbirds fighting
Glorious Daisies : A Late Night Haiku
this daisy riot
petals reaching for the sky
buzzing content bees
I wrote this haiku a few months ago, but some glitch kept it from posting. Glad I found it, and now to share it with you.
Thursday Morning Haiku
early morning
small birds converse
time for tea
Grace: A Haiku
Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.
I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.
The Distraction of Electrons
with sunlight falling
I’m abuzz with distraction
called by electrons
A Good Morning Haiku
night is complete
dawn’s grace arrives
resisting waking
A Good Night Haiku
through the summer’s sun
life drips down upon the earth
bees sing merrily
Early Morning #Haiku, July 20, 2020
in the morning air
humanity is silent
I hear the birds sing
July is marching past. August approaches quickly. I doubt I’ll be ready, but the universe doesn’t care. Always forward motion, I do my best to prepare.
Haiku, July 19, 2020
the well lit blue sky
as summer’s glory descends
birds sing from the trees
