moving through the night
embracing the darkened sky
cold air fills my soul
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 Haiku On The Sky’s Edge
upon the sky’s edge
this crisply clean dry fresh air

Haiku, November 16, 2019
these transitions
cold air charges fragrance
gathering the remnants
Good Morning Seattle
morning rain
rooftop’s gentle rattle
tranquil happiness
A haiku from this evening’s walk
trees not quite bare
murky fragrance delights
cool air calms
A view from my evening walk. I opted, from my choices for exercise, to walk. I needed to clear the buzzing from my mind. Which always feels worthwhile.

leaves gently flutter

I do love this one so, both the photo and haiku. I hope you do, too.

Anxiety: A Monday Morning Haiku
Anxiety
The cruelest noise
In silence
Memories
Down from my window
Thousands of lights, lives
Alone before sleep
Remembering nights alone in my apartment looking out over the city. Not an elegant view, but I y think Kerouac should’ve been comfortable.
