A Thursday Morning Haiku
early morning
small birds converse
time for tea
Early morning, no one else awake. I sip tea and listen to the birds sing.
For this poem and image I used the app “InstaQuote” on my Kindle Fire. I like the paper background and the font choices. It’s my preferred app on my Kindle since there’s no Canva app.
Often with my haiku I seek a minimalist, handwritten ascetic. For me, that captures the essence and history of haiku.

Grace: A Haiku
Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.

Haiku, Minimalism, Modernism, Design
Posted this haiku on my Instagram page this morning. Exploring minimalism, the essence of haiku, combining it with a modernistic design. To accomplish this, I opted for a Helvetica-esque font, right alignment, and no ornamentation. I hope you like it.
The Distraction of Electrons
with sunlight falling
I’m abuzz with distraction
called by electrons
A Good Morning Haiku
night is complete
dawn’s grace arrives
resisting waking
A Good Night Haiku
through the summer’s sun
life drips down upon the earth
bees sing merrily
Early Morning #Haiku, July 20, 2020
in the morning air
humanity is silent
I hear the birds sing
July is marching past. August approaches quickly. I doubt I’ll be ready, but the universe doesn’t care. Always forward motion, I do my best to prepare.
