Back in mid-March, a friend and I decided we'd each write a Haiku every day. It's been a fun project! I don't think I'm so great at maintaining the proper tone for a Haiku, but I've enjoyed sticking to the line form and syllabic restrictions. Anyway, here some of my favorites from over the last three months...
Memory muscles flex
Clockworks internally set
An exit barely
Virgin paper sheets
Aimless possibility
Youthful echoes bound
Entropy flows East
Midnight seeds new life
Iguana cadre
Sandy side sun-soaked snail shells
Fish flying fine wine
The ringing receiver
Reminding me of voices
Reactionary
Tennis ballistics
Tendons, ligaments and joints
Sore beyond the points
Unfurled eyebrows
Syrupy skin, loosened cheeks
An ego exhaled
Sunday Wedding Day
Been waylaid and asked to play
Betrays feet of clay
What’s given is got
And gotten late if at all
But call it all fate
Haiku diary
A daily journal, but short
No poems, just life
Collaboration
Lost to a child’s reticence
Replaced by a game
Blue light divides the darkness
Numbered time swims through
Anxiety now!
Last minute trip prep two step
Don’t know what to eat
So particulate
Breathing boxes now removed
Vacuum dodging dust
Flowing in my blood
A saccharine poison pill
Misfortune swallowed
Thermos-like beehives
On the trail of the chipmunks
The leash barely holds
Spirit of the pin
Flows through breath to others' ears
Pleading for reprieve
Parallel life lines
How many times have I died?
A mind dips and slips
Another bottle
Whose genie cannot respond
Three wishes long gone
Elusive dreamer
Can’t snatch darkness from the night
A mad dash til dawn
My pandemic strings
Be they flat or be they dead
Still sing you to bed
Hearings go unheard
By those who've removed their ears
Sightings breed new eyes
