American-Jew. Leftist. Zoomer supremacist. I post daily 575s
Pinned
For 73 days I wrote and posted a daily haiku on the other app; I’ve now come to clearer skies.

For me, the 5-7-5 structure is the foundation, not a constraint. Within it, I write what I want. Here’s a senryu from day #50:

Cramped hands kern corners
Elbows swivel on margins
Cutting minute scrawls
575 #76

Straw hats and bit lips
Weaves of grain lay, drying pews
Crows crunch rye gospel

575 #75

Glazed wings bow, framing
Amphora’s mosaic, chips
Fall by fronds, swept dry

Epaulette eyebrows
Sunny side, dashed on rocks, eg-
-O the eagle’s death
