A Handful of Haiku to Greet the Day

Love and Life: I lose myself in your wild eyes— A phone rings.


Awakening: Dawn settles over a setting world. A day to sleep in.


Respite: Man at work dreams of home. A coffee break.


A Frozen Moment: Three short breaths, express an idea. A haiku's birth.


Constructing Freedom: Standing on scaffolding, between earth and sky. Longing for bird-weather.

It's been a while since I've written haiku, and while I believe well-written haiku are very hard to write, and I'm far from a master or even an adept of writing them, I do like the form.

I wrote one of these last night, and the rest this morning on the way to work. I hope these present you some moments of enjoyment as you go through your day. I believe poetry can be such panacea - not just for momentous occasions, but for the everyday life. For the everyday moments.

Thanks to @dbooster for rekindling my interest in haiku this year.
