Lately I’ve been writing haiku. Dunno why. For some reason, it seemed to be the best way to express some stuffs I was feeling.
5-7-5. How hard can that be? Surprisingly hard. Still yet, I tried. So I thought I would share wat I wrote.
Birds on my fuchsia
Fir trees blowing in the wind
I feel peace, for now.
Cold, gray day outside.
A fire burns in the fireplace
I should be warm now.
‘Ukulele purrs
asleep, nestled beside me
comfort dressed in fur.
I wake up early
There is more darkness than light
Outside, swallows fly.
Four in the morning
swallows chittering outside
flying alarm clocks.
Ninety-four degrees
heat pushes me to the ground
is the sun angry?
wow…love it
lovely. I specifically like the last one. Was that one written this weekend. It was so hot on Sunday down that way. It was 62 on the Harbor and in the 90’s by the time I got to Portland.
I wrote it in the middle of the week when it was that hot. Ho da hot!! Mahalo for all your comments!
