Tonight’s Good Night Haiku
As the night moves on
And my wakefulness ending
Slumber’s beauty calls
Good night, my internet friends

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.
Taught risk avoidance
Always so vigorously
Hence why fear haunts me

Eyelids drooping down
My weariness at day’s end
Preparing for bed
I seek out beauty
The glories of Washington
My ancestors speak
