Travel writer and fellow Freevillian, Rachel Dickinson, inspired me to explore the Haiku form with her Daily Haiku posts on Facebook. I think she cross posts them from a WordPress blog called The Daily Haiku. I was immediately hooked.
Here a few of the haiku I have written in the past few weeks, in reverse chronological order, starting with today:
—
Dec. 6
crows wheel in the wind
blowing snow drifts round the house
hot cat in my lap
—
Dec 5
a sound of crying
dominoes in migration
snow geese have returned
—
Nov. 25
menu: crock pot hen
baby peas and bread stuffing
cranberries, of course
Took dinner to the
old folk’s home and watched TV
she gave me a gift
—
Nov 23
mysterious sky
my changing weather outlook
winter advances
—
Nov 19, 2010
yes i♥friday
full of promises like an
unfaithful lover
Weekend mini series
Lust, shopping, TV, laundry
Sing Monday Monday
spider web catches
a snowflake and is revealed
otherwise unseen
—
Nov. 2 2010
I’m nervous today
about the voting results
sugar binge predicted
—
October 31
rain and snow obscure
the mountain in the distance
northern harrier

Rachel, I can’t stop this train!
bitter and winter
they almost rhyme, paired
in more ways than one
and…
rumble, clang, roar, whoosh
blinding lights, behemoth breath
the plow truck going by

Particularly love the first one – the cold wind vs. the hot cat. I did some haikus last week and loved them! Thank you for sharing.
