reaching for the sky
to feed upon the sunlight
soon the petals fall
Sunlit Flowers
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.
The Joy Of Bees
the joy of the bees
as the breeze stirs the petals
and the sunlight faded
Spring Sunlight
under spring sunlight
bees moving between petals
gentle ocean breeze
The Blessings Of Night
the blessings of night
dusk's orange skies gently fade
ah, tranquility!
A morning haiku
flittering of bees
dancing upon the petals
a choir of birdsong
I’ve not had my morning tea yet. Time to change that, methinks.
I hope your Friday is inspiring and productive.
Daylight Drifting
daylight drifts downwards the sun seeking its earned rest western mountains glow
Song of Sunlight
admist the flowers
dancing upon the petals
the song of sunlight
The gentle rain
the gentle rainfall
droplets caress the petals
in the early morn
Sunday Morning Haiku
under this spring sun
graceful dance of the spring breeze
as the daylight fades
An Evening Haiku
the evening sunlight
drifting behind western trees
cherry blossoms fall
A friend of mine asked me why I hadn’t written, or posted, any haiku lately. My answer is pretty lame. She said she missed them, so I offer up this one.
