This child limping
Long for Jesus’s power
To heal with a touch
Tag: haiku
I started writing haiku in my junior high creative writing class. After high school, though, when I started studying the Beat Poets, and Kerouac in particular, my fondness for this art form grew. I tend to focus mostly on the 5-7-5 style, but occasionally I explore further.
Sunset: A Haiku
The colors of dusk
A crescent moon ascending
Autumnal air brisk
Autumn’s Grip
Evening moves to night
Cold and silence dominate
Autumn’s grip secure
A haiku while walking in Everett
History in bricks
Such elegant stateliness
An autumn sunset

Anguish is encompassing
This near winter night

So much beauty here
When sun shines, it’s glorious
I also love rain
Today’s gratitude poem: the importance of friends
The kindness of friends
Creating community
And nurturing grace
