Sleepy Time

Bed is beckoning

Time for sleep is upon us

Lets go have pizza

Bugs

Spots on the windshield

Bugs giving their all

To harass me

Drowsey

Wind whispers in the trees

Memories of storms past

Drowsey in the shade  

English Haiku

I've been reading that English haiku is not so much about form as content.  The idea is to invoke a feeling without expressing it.  I'm learning the 5-7-5 syllable form is more for Japanese haiku than English.


Understanding the above, I'm going to subject you to some new efforts.

Sheets of rain

Cold soggy boots

Warm fire

Spring storm

Trees bow

Spots on the window


Wind music
In the trees
Lullaby 


Rain on the roof
White noise orchestra

Comfy in bed

Fears

From the east comes dawn
A new day is upon us
Old fears swept away

Midnight Sun

Bright midnight sun

Shines through bedroom windowpane

Sleep eludes tonight

Cloudy Skys

Cloudy skys no sun

Depression seeps through dark clouds

Joy comes with the sun  

Devil Rum

Drank devil rum last night

Aspirin tablets blinding white

Oh why so stupid

Haiku Spring

Pussy willows bud

Birds sing a bright melody

Haiku in the Spring

Bloging

Blogging's fun you see
That's why my posts are here
Enjoy my haiku

Heart

Blood pressure is high

Thinking bad thoughts about my death

Cardiologist 

Tall Tale

I'm seven zero and one
I can tell a tale or two
Won't you sit with me

Youth

The crunch of gravel

School bus on a country road

Memories of youth

Kids

School bus driving daze

Little people faces shine

Kids keep drivers young

Beast

Big and burly beast

Always stay away from me

Hippopotamus

Bright Sun

Bright sun shining down
Working body sweat feels good
Shower feels better

Last Thoughts Today

Day is done rest comes
Darkness bed beckons sleep comes
Rest sweet rest good night

Fun With Haiku

Sun shines on bald head
Many are the blisters tomorrow
Soaking head in ice

Forest Glen

Forest dabbled sun
Mossy limbs on forest trees
Peace like a river

Today's Ofering

I'm told that many were exposed to haiku as a child in school.  Everyone I've talked to so far was. Must have been after my time because I only heard of haiku a few years back.  I'm having fun with it now though.


Forest creek beckons
Bare skin gentle breeze caresses 
Skinny dipping fun

I've Discovered Haiku

I’ve just discovered how fun composing Haiku is so I’m subjecting you to some of my first efforts.

Wind gently through the trees
Smell of pine on a warm day
A moment of quiet rest

Rain falls in winter storms
The roof leaks water down the wall
Quick call the plumber

School bus full of fun
Summer is here students wild
Oh the joy of youth

Storm raging, bent trees

Warm coco waiting at home

Cozy fire, cold feet
