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.
All hail performance!
I recklessly pursue speed
Losing quality
I always feel pressure to get things done faster. Speed is everything! Except it’s not. Without quality everything collapses. Pressure starts to build for both, yet they live on the opposite sides of town. Therein lies the challenge, methinks.

I’ve been posting on the Mirakee app a feature amount lately. I think it’s a great tool for writers.
Though it’s time to rest
I want to do one more thing
So here’s your haiku
I love creating these haiku. May you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.
Youthful frustration
Bring held back from greatness
Greatness would not wait
One theme in mythology: destiny cannot be resisted.
Go find your purpose
Don’t minimize your great gifts
Embracing your path
Keep moving forwards
Resist hiding from your fear
Let it give you focus
As a long-time Star Wars fan, I thought it would be fun to create a couple of Star Wars themed haiku. Below is the first.
Gaze upon the town
Centuries of memories
Under the fresh snow
Winter’s afternoon
Watching these clouds move through firs
Such grace filled motion
Out east of Bellingham, near the town of Deming, we journeyed to the Nooksack river to see eagles. Around twenty bald and golden eagles sat among the trees. Seagulls fought for the scraps.
So, why am I here?
Such a powerful question
This path to greatness
I want to grow, to become more, do important things, make a positive impact upon this place I love. That is what I mean by “greatness” . But that’s only a part. How I need to define my goal.
As Thich Naht Hahn said, “The path is the goal”. It’s a fluid, moving target, evolving as my soul grows. I find this beautiful.
