More snow with the dawn
Powdery dry flakes, floating
Winter fireflies

Night falls, though snow stops
Quiet muffled sound, outside
It seems strangely bright

Good night good night, i
Turn out the light, and under
The blankets we go.

Sun and snow, but cold
Chills me to the bone, still bright
And so beautiful

Weather haiku, so
Immediate, vividly
Here for all to see.

German words have more
Syllables, do haikus then
Have far fewer words?

A week of haiku
Good for me! Now i write for
Fifty one more weeks.

Cold again, bitter
Wind cuts through, dark heavy sky
Burning wood and snow

Trees without their leaves
Gnarled fingers grasp the sky
Dark and beautiful

Haiku writing block
No good ideas tonight, thoughts stuck.
But check back later!

Secrets under bed
Mostly dust and mismatched socks
No stories today

Hello sunshine, bright
Blue skies, I feel happy, good
Energy today.

Lily barks in her sleep
High pitched woof, with movement in
Her feet. Oh so sweet.

Good night, good night, we
Turn out the lights. Sweet dreams, sleep
Tomorrow comes soon.

Thanks everyone for reading!

Organization
Not my best trait!  How do I
manage my haiku?

This is serious
A haiku each day makes for
poorly indexed posts.

Some haiku from very early this morning, conversing with the talented Scorchy Barrington of the fab Sarcastic Boob.

As you might guess, the subject was knitted dishcloths. Anything is suitable for haiku, you see.

A dishcloth a day
Keeps white coats away, although
No time for much else

I’m very worried
All this talk of nice clean things
Domesticity

Another useful tip – we often cast about for suitable haiku endings – here are 3 I can rely on if in trouble….

Refrigerator

Non sequitur

Domesticity

First there was a bout of insomnia and this:

Outside creepy fog
Oddly bright, envelops night
Is evil lurking?

Yeah, ok, a bit
Serious, past time to sleep
Refrigerator.

And then, I thought… whoa, I’m having trouble writing.  So here’s a goal for the new year…. A haiku (or more) a day for the rest of the year.

and here we are:

I love haiku, an
Art form of minimal rule
And non sequitur

In 2 0 1 3
A haiku per day i will
Post here to amuse.
