Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry.
The poems are limited to 3 lines and 17 syllables.

5 on the first line,
7 on the second line,
and 5 on the third.


I try to write one Haiku everyday.
Most days I fail, but some days inspiration strikes.
Sometimes it gushes for days at a time.
You can never tell when something will touch your heart.

Thanks for spending a moment reading
Haiku from the Heart.

I hope you'll be back to read my words.

Washed Away

Pitter-patter rain.
Walking, just me and the dog.
Briefly my heart stills.

Miss You

Cold winter mornings
start off brighter every day.
Time overcomes grief.

Flex - Your Strength

The blades of grass bend
to let the dew drops descend;
easing their burden.

Flight Comparison

Contrails mark the sky
with human achievement. Birds
fly with silent grace.

What's The Rush?

So much to time to reach.
Still I am speeding there, like
a river to sea.

Slow Down. Yes Mom.

Heavy winter snow.
Everything slows to adjust.
Nature's life lesson.

Thanks, But I'll Do It Myself

Recycling day. Wind.
Paper scattered in all yards.
She gives, she takes back.

This is...

Carriages arrive.
Witches and undead spill out.
Halloween at school.

Attitude

In strong defiance
of fall, Cosmos flowers dance
in the cool fall air.

Yin-Yang

Am I better at
good cop or bad? No matter.
I have to do both.

Perspective

My life's not perfect.
But it's better than many.
Should count for something.

To Be Human

Stopped at a red light
I saw her crying as she 
walked by. Made me sad.

Yin-Yang

Winter dawn. The Moon
waits in the sky, hoping for
a glimpse of the Sun

Winter Sunrise

Bright winter morning.
Sun rising behind smoky
mountains, breathtaking!

Foresight

Majestic mountains
repose in blankets of clouds.
Bracing for Winter.

Breakfast

The smell of fresh toast,
made my mouth water today.
Life's simple pleasures.

Sunrise

Dew drops on grass blades.
Shimmering, fleeting, morning
diamonds. Lost if touched.
