Tag: 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.

I seek the No Mind
Monumentally failing
Busyness robs me

All space-time exists
Upon the palm of her hand.
Precious and fragile

Echoing within
A gnawing pit of emptiness,
Resisted, feeling.

Strangely the night comes
Springing upon my workload
Exhaustion bites hard

My child rides away
Supported by his friendships
Trees colors changing

Within this forest
Reminded of things wild
Ancient green echoes
