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.

Before Dark

The sun goes home by
eve as Summer Falls into
the long dark Winter.

Hills on Fire

A rainy summer,
with a verdant bounty. Makes
for a fiery fall!

No... Thank You!

Grateful for some shade,
the weary traveler gives
purpose to the tree.

Persistence

On my knees again,
pulling weeds in my backyard.
Longing for Winter

Hey, Want Some Food?

Hot day, homeless man
His profound gratitude just
makes me want to cry.

Where is Home?

Leaving home to go
home. Like rain drops from clouds to
earth. The expat's life.

A Thousand Words...

Can a picture do
justice to the grandeur of
nature? Wild Flowers.

Water = Life

Summer evening.
Stifling heat slows everything.
Sprinklers make kids run.

Look Out Above! (3)

When trees are laden
with unpicked, rotting old fruit,
don't stand under them!

Reflection

Koi swim silently,
White and Pink Lotuses bloom.
Sacred pool. Clear sky.
