A haiku about the cycle of voyage and return through aging:
“in ten days, the page will turn, and there will be”
new words to read, but—
run ons, old chapters, hold firm.
forward, yes. (and back.)

A haiku for a hazy, amalgamation of distant memories about secreting away beneath tables and beds:
“countless legs, all bodiless,”
stroll by, and I hide.
mouth pressed, slim line, wordlessly
reaching. gone. I tried.

A haiku for last night and the rain:
“through the darkness,”
tittering talk. cold
nimble fingers tap against
the glass. please come in.

Sorry my haiku have been MIA for a few weeks…it’s been a rough time over here. Hoping to get back to writing them next week.
In the meantime, here’s a #lovenote on a coffee mug for you, basically the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning (besides my dog 😅):

A haiku for fall leaves and fall landscapes:
“At a park in St. Ann’s,”
leaves, in soft tendrils,
sweep the air on their descent,
landing on loose dirt.

A haiku about the long, slow, internal battle some of fight day to day:
“The monster today is an ancient millstone”
tethered to my waist,
pulling, pulling. relentless.
how long can I fight?

Not sure where this haiku came from today, I feel the words more than I understand them at present:
“Once upon a time, kinship came easily, but”
sometimes, stories lie.
curses, illuminated,
sever solid ties.

How my brain and body feels this week. Not quite a haiku, but I tried for something honest:
“I have not worked twice as hard (I don’t think), though”
maybe that’s self-hate
talking too much.
I’m just tired. So tired.

A haiku about divisions, consequences and honesty:
“You crossed the lines and wonder why”
fear pools in our eyes.
“we want more than to survive,”
you say…we do too.

A haiku for a life cycle that keeps on giving:
“The cliff edge calls, but so do the bees,”
who, with their ancient
knowledge of flowers, still grow
life relentlessly.

A haiku for anyone discovering new places behind old, locked doors:
“With a little oil on the hinges,”
an old door relents,
sliding open, brand new bones,
a room smiles awake.
