Haiku to you Thursday: “Half moon waiting”

Waiting

Waiting

Reaching for the stars /

he found a half moon waiting /

at the bare limb’s edge.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cheap soles”

Troubling questions /

crunched under trampling footsteps. /

Cheap soles speaking lies.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Remains”

Between what is said /

and what is done /

is that which remains.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Winter kindness”

Winter’s kindness /

begets Spring’s regret and leaves /

darkness for my love.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Santa say”

For footfalls in the snow, /

you wait like a five-year-old. /

What would Santa say? /

Haiku to you Thursday: “Glisten”

Upon the brown grass /

glistens winter’s translucence, /

refracting wonder. /

Haiku to you Thursday: “Nip”

The nip of winter /

a small feral animal /

happy to see you.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Pain”

Pain is a song /

whose melody is as true /

as its words are inadequate.

[Editor’s note: a modified haiku structure, varying a little from the 5 syllable, 7 syllable, 5 syllable structure. Still, I believe it carries the spirit of a haiku.]

Haiku to you Thursday: “Things”

My things talk to me. /

My fellow humans do not. /

“Beep,” I say to you.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Rope”

Before the morning sun, /

we hurl our love into space: /

a rope to pull us along.
