As I’m facing west
Sunlight pushes out the grey
Feeling summer’s power
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.
Mountain Flower: A Haiku
The bees grab my eye
After a few-hours’ hike
A summertime view
Last Night
Watching the sun set
And the sky’s colors redden
This feeling of home
A mountain side #haiku
On this mountain trail
Bees feeding upon flowers
Mists clear from the peaks
A Dim Sum Haiku
Flavors of China
Dancing upon my palette
I can eat outdoors
Tonight’s haiku is about dim sum.
The leaves above me: a #haiku
As I look upwards
These leaves’ beautiful pattern
A sign of illness
A rainy Seattle #haiku
Rain falls gracefully
Flowers forgot the sunlight
This moment passes
Facing Westwards: Tonight’s #Haiku
I’m facing westwards
And mountains cover the sun
A sweet summer night
This one was fun to make. It makes me quite happy.
Awoke by sirens: an early morning #haiku
Awoke by sirens
Deep in the pre-dawn darkness
I say a prayer
A Sunny Saturday
Honey bees feasting
Sunlight flowing from the sky
Such summer delights
