upon this roadside
a gateway to narnia?
shall I go and see?
Day One of NaPoWriMo
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.
A Spring Haiku
a riot of blossoms
celebration of new life
soon fluttering down
I walk by this tree regularly. It’s been daily during the lockdown. Spring is fully on. The blossoms lovely, temporary. Perhaps that’s part of their; their impermanence. So very Zen of me, I guess.
Early Morning Haiku
silence outside
daylight still waking
the quiet of poems
A Rainy Saturday Evening Haiku
daises in the rain
water dripping from my hat
the wind’s memory
A Spring Afternoon
sunlight flows downwards
fir trees grasping towards the clouds
a gentle spring breeze
Sidewalk in Black & White
my movement is life
concrete underneath my feet
sunlight through the clouds
Shot the photo while on a walk near home, then edited in Instagram. Original is color, but black and white just felt right.
Views from today’s walk
suburban walking
humor in this time of fear
crows laughing boldly
Serenading Dawn
a bird sings solo
dawn’s hints in the eastern sky
serenading dawn
Nights Sacred Darkness
in this night’s darkness
within the sacred silence
seek peace together
The Blue Sky Beckons
the blue sky beckons
one blossom reaches the sky
gravity ignored
