Critical to climb
Ascend to the greatest heights
Thus see the long view
My response to “Today’s @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word ‘long’ in it….” on Twitter.

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.
Walking Memories: A Haiku
Reflect on myself
Walking upon these same streets
Changed and new blended.
A Spring Morning
Sunlight drifts on wind
Cool intensity floating
Flowers greet the morn
Soul’s Creation
Journeys create souls
Deepening our deepest depths
First step: send ourselves.
Kites
Air moving with grace
Bright colors dance lightly now
Resisting still air
Terror to Power
Letters assembled
Upon page or bright screen
Terror to power
Compassion
Gentleness descends
Compassion’s greatness saves me
Branches bloom anew
Thanks
My great readership
Creates in me happiness
Delight in sharing
Compassion’s Call
Compassion’s call loud
At the center of my life
Spring’s gentle rains calm
Achoo!
Pollen’s brutal quest
Tear my sinuses apart
A sniffling mess
