Haiku Poems
#haiku
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, similar to senryu. Haiku are short poems, comprising of only three lines.

Unlike senryu, Haiku have a predominant theme of nature, and sometimes have no reference to humans or human artefacts.

INWARD
I am the god man
I am a dreamer of dreams
Today is my fault
OUTWARD
Baldy the doorman
My door is open to you
The back yard calls us
UPWARD
Ghost in a tin can
You are taller than I think
We are that Spirit
I am the god man
I am a dreamer of dreams
Today is my fault
OUTWARD
Baldy the doorman
My door is open to you
The back yard calls us
UPWARD
Ghost in a tin can
You are taller than I think
We are that Spirit

All voices matter.

Beltane blues on a winter’s day haiku
Beltane blues on a winter’s day haiku
pink blush
of her sunset cheeks
glow of youth
hidden
in her turtle neck sweater
golden hills of Eden
path of palms
for her evening stroll
heavenly parade
scent
of mown grass
she gathers her skirt
her masala dish
dazzles my taste buds
she winks
the pleats
of her windblown skirt
naked summer
pink blush
of her sunset cheeks
glow of youth
hidden
in her turtle neck sweater
golden hills of Eden
path of palms
for her evening stroll
heavenly parade
scent
of mown grass
she gathers her skirt
her masala dish
dazzles my taste buds
she winks
the pleats
of her windblown skirt
naked summer

Burnt Rice
Fatigue and strain take over
Heavy eyes drift shut
Burnt rice brings back the present

Coffee Haiku, a Cycle
Cup of coffee left.
On low wall outside office.
Collecting raindrops.
Two days pass, a third.
Coffee cup remains, sat there.
Is it now more rain?
A light winter frost.
It glazes leaves and walkways.
Coffee cup remains, sat there.
On low wall outside office.
Collecting raindrops.
Two days pass, a third.
Coffee cup remains, sat there.
Is it now more rain?
A light winter frost.
It glazes leaves and walkways.
Coffee cup remains, sat there.

Nevertheless Haiku
In your verses deep
I find pieces of myself
Hearts entwined through ink
I find pieces of myself
Hearts entwined through ink
