As I look forwards
Inspired for the future
I’m embracing hope
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.
I need more time
Needing much more time
So much needing to be done
Hints of Autumn leaves
Life is so busy at times, it’s ready to lose focus. I forget what’s important, ending up weary. Remember to focus on what gives you energy, what gives you life.
The Day’s End
The day’s ending here
A busy and full day done
Now to calm my mind
This started before 6:00 am and stretched until I got home a little after 10:30. A reasonably productive day, which makes me happy. But, well, that’s really long. And I’m tired. So, good night my friends.

It’s not quite six yet
Which I still find “too early”
The boy’s in high school
I’m still adapting to the high school schedule. That will come. That will come.

A new beginning
Intersecting new with old
Moving forward now
A new work week starts. What will you accomplish?
A Mediation On The Eclipse
The sun blocks the moon

For his ring again?
Cakes and Heads
French aristocrats
Their talk of “let them eat cake”
Then losing their heads
This is just a bit of an experiment to see how Instagram’s embed feature works. Looks like it’s too good, actually. Oh well.
Tonight’s Haiku: my silent call
In this silent home
Dreams start creeping into view
Then they consume me
