Six Haikus
Writing Haikus to me is more a feeling than following a set of rules. Sometimes I pay attention to the 5/7/5 syllable rule; sometimes I don't. I always use three lines, though, as I believe that brevity is the quintessential element of a Haiku as well as creating images, which are sometimes in juxtaposition.
1
In blue-haze night dreams
Her form melds with mine
Close, warm, and calming
A wooden, solid, rocker
Glides and moves
A stationary meditation in progress
He is not alone
He gazes out towards his life
Smiling his memories
4
Sitting picking grass
A bright tundra etched morning
Everything's alive
5
Spring appears in time
Popping blooms across green ground
Watering eyes laugh
6

Another yummy
lunch
Comfort food warm and cozy
Let's do this again
Comfort food warm and cozy
Let's do this again
