Poetry – Word Shaper

Tonight’s haiku: August 4, 2026

as the smoke descends 
wafting across the region
no night time relief

within the darkness
sunlight’s echoes remaining
the dreams won’t forget

ah, a chance of rain!
onto this parched neighborhood
blessed potential

in the summer heat
a rabbit lays in the shade 
lazily eating

monetization
a feeling of emptiness
within what I love

sun drifts through clouds 
rain gently makes it's way down 
as night slowly falls

all eyes on their phones
an osprey catches a fish
only I notice

two people clapping
quirky, stuttering rythmn
a small cloud of gnats

on the edge of dreams 
the windchimes' lullaby 
luring me closer

as the seasons change
I watch the clouds passing by
while sipping my tea
