I’v been writing haiku daily for 3 decades & sending them into the universe: refreshing or cringey. I live in San Francisco w/my Dutch guy, a box turtle older than all of my haiku &two semi feral cats. If you write haiku, I would love to follow you too!
stove clock
teasing and mocking my sleep
day light savings
#haiku
just the sounds
of freeway traffic
and one crow
#haiku
spring’s edge
presidio parrots double
up the alarms
#haiku
potted succulents
so carefully shading
a purple mushroom
#haiku
inside a plum
light cast over the front steps
lunar eclipse
#haiku
lonely cat
and the drapes late to pull back
“mewwvv, mewwvv”
#haiku
in the hush
before the house finch’s song
I pocket last stars
#haiku
first light
the news of orange man’s war
sours my coffee
#haiku
by tomorrow
folded dandelion
you’ll match the sun
by Sunday
the moon
#haiku
steamy ramen
no longer shy, mom requests
a fork
#haiku
now two weeks
miss noodle the feral still
missing breakfast
#haiku
first to arrive
a dozen-ish blossoms
on the plum branches
#haiku
marbled above
even the hummingbirds shush
before the storm
#haiku
immeasurable
the constellation of stars
on my apple
#haiku
morning ticks by
but the colors keep bright
sundog
#haiku
2.19 (because I forgot to post it)
Chinese banquet
my vegetarianism
hides in my napkin
Today:
thaw
parking lot ivy again
five shades of green
#haiku
fireside dive bar
the place we never go
now warms our sneakers
#haiku
redecorated
the entire backyard
after the night storm
#haiku
dusk sets on
the bright white light
of calla lilies
#haiku
Exactly!!!!
stop and go drizzle
even raccoons wait to shimmy
over the gate
#haiku
kid memory
I crayoned the heart into
two ice cream cones
#haiku
(I was in first grade, and the teacher said it was no longer a heart . She made me redo the assignment…still kind of proud of my little self).
a hopscotch toss
of linked stars spraying across
the milky way
#haiku
joy! flaming katy
rescued from mom’s counter
to my front stoop
#haiku
office window
ignoring the gossip
to watch pine cones
#haiku
coffee matters
the shop fills with signs and sticks
teachers on strike
#haiku
of course
she has a red collar
Dalmatian
#haiku
for the love
of peanuts thrown
scrub jays dive
#haiku
one of those mornings
when the distant Alcatraz
floats on fog
#haiku
wood grain
cursive practiced between lines
wordlessly
#haiku
