HAIKUS

Haiku are short poems consisting of the same build through all which is the “5 7 5” rule. The opening line of a haiku is five syllables, the next seven, and the next five. Haikus for me are usually like little breaths of fresh air. Because of them being so short it almost kind of stops and slows you down to think about what further meanings can be drawn from such a short phrase. 

These are some original haikus I made

“Restless”

I wake in the day

and sleep into the night time

tossing and turning

“The Great Wave”

The wave comes to me

and then the wave leaves from me

here it is again

“Future Things”

My past yearns for me

while my present sits waiting

will tomorrow come?

“Love”

This love knows no bounds

no distance it wouldn’t cross

this love knows no bounds

“Sleepy Time”

Weighty eyes and tea

Silk linen I can’t leave

blissful as I go

“ Legion”

Clouds pass showing stars

how we are one of many

like grains in the sand

“Morning Mist”

In a foggy place

the water slides down back side

rejuvenating

“Weekend”

Over the horizon

I see it shining on me

that time wrapped in gold

“Heartache”

Why does the heart long

something unattainable 

distance in between

“Busy Bee”

Four to five full days

weekly it never seems to stop

Lots of here and there

“Patience”

I’m waiting for you

and I’m still waiting for you

forever I’d wait
