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.

A Meditation On Beauty, And Our Cruel Nature

Life’s immense beauty
Gets overshadowed sometimes
By crass destruction

It concerns me, at times, how much we prefer destructive rhetoric over the positive. There are times I wonder if we, as a group, know how.

Time to awaken
Put my feet upon the floor
Go forth and do things 


Come check out my latest project: Forward Facing, where I explore effectiveness, motivation and harnessing positive energy to create a great life. 

Beginning Again

Starting new journeys
Refreshed with a new vision
Seeking to craft hope

I have a new vision for myself as a blogger: combining my poetry with a talent for administration and organization, mixing in a desire to motivate positive personal growth. I know there’s a place for a vision of positive growth and inspiration. Now I wonder about the vehicle. Currently, I’ve started a new website: www.ForwardFacing.net. Though perhaps I’ll reframe this site towards that end. I’m not too sure yet. 

Come over and let me know what you think. Advice and counsel are deeply appreciated. Or comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts.

As I seek focus

And to up my writing game

Seek to keep growing

I’m evaluating my work as a poet and blogger, considering what I want to do next. What kind of focus do I want, what kind of stuff I want write. So very much to consider, and I’m trying to have it mapped out and moving forward within a few weeks.
