Seeking Confidence: A Haiku

seeking confidence 

channel Earnest Hemingway

a bad ass poet

Well, I believe this is better labelled “senryu”. The roots of my malaise? This feeling of inadequacy, that i should be doing something great, followed by debilitating, negative self talk. I thought a great poets who have a great bearing. Hemingway captures that confident bearing, which I seek to install within me perfectly.

    Tide Against Sand


    tide moves against sand

    with air dancing upon waves

    heron’s patient stealth

    The Solstice is Past

    with the solstice past
    daylight stays with us longer
    spring whispering now?

    Dreams Arise Again

    dreams arise again

    fears, one after another

    barren branches sing 

    As Autumn Approaches: A Haiku

    hands held in the night

    comforting in the darkness

    as autumn approachesa

    A little haiku i wrote a few months back. I thought it reflects a key part of what love is. Especially the kind of love that lasts for decades. 

    A Haiku Near A Bookstore

    within this metal
    this writer’s soul delighted 
    festive tinsel’s song

    A Cloudy Night Haiku

    clouds dancing eastwards
    souls uncovering new dreams
    wind chimes whispering

    Memories of Summertime

    ghosts of flowers
    memories of summertime
    echoes of love songs
