Though it’s not quite dawn
The songs of life have started
This spring has vigor
Happy Friday morning to all who celebrate!
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.
At the Edge of Darkness
There’s so much beauty
At the edges of darkness
The power of night
The Prominence of Night
Night has prominence
The street light bold beaming
Contrasting the dark
Another poem about the night. I hope its restful and rejuvenating.
A Haiku For A Mural
Layered on concrete
Vibrant colors bring to life
A face from this brush
A Monday Morning #Haiku
Dawn presents newness
Beginnings and potential
This morning’s birdsong
A #Haiku for your Sunday morning
I’m up before dawn
Light coming through my window
I just need some tea
I hope your Sunday recharges your soul, giving you energy and drive as we face a new week.
A #StarWars #Haiku
So much Star Wars on
This event in Chicago
One of my life’s great joys
Star Wars has long been a key part of my life. The films are a central part of my personal mythology. I’ve written a few other poems about the films, and I expect I’ll write more.
With Star Wars Celebration going on in Chicago this weekend, I’ve been delighted to watch video footage of the happenings. I’ve long been inspired by the universe, and delighted as we keep moving forward. I felt a desire to communicate a bit of what it feels like to watch what’s happening to these characters I love. I hope I did it justice.
Tonight’s #Haiku: Friday, April 12, 2019
An evening with friends
Connections most beautiful
Expanding our souls
Thursday, April 11, 2019’s Haiku
Glorious springtime
With these petals bursting forth
Before the rains come
Blackholes: A Haiku
Deep in outer space
Great power bending the light
As I gaze at rain
Word Shaper
