One hobby includes writing haiku fairly regularly, so here are a few recent ones:
I need stress in Life.
Not too much, of course, but no
Stress is much like Death.
* * *
New pen in my hand
I almost have thoughts to match--
But no, same old me.
* * *
Surviving the worst
Is good for your character,
But I'd rather not!
* * *
Reddish purple blooms
On the lot next door, like a
Flag announcing Spring.
* * *
Optimism and
Humour, my engines of life
As I have no faith
* * *
A friend just said I should publish a book of haiku. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks Bryan, these haiku gave me pleasure! I wonder if I might try to compose a few, and maybe even attempt setting them to melody... Thanks also for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI've always been attracted to haiku because of the tiny crystals of thought they capture.
