My goal is to write one haiku per day this year, starting on the day before the inauguration. It is meant to be both inspiration and distraction. We’ll see how long it lasts.
The icicle melts -
A prism’s brilliant life
Cut short by the sun
###
The foxes courted
In the gray dusk, not caring
That we could see them
###
The cat abandons
Her obsession with birds to
Watch me cross the yard
###
Sunny haikus feel
Indulgent when darkness looms
Just beyond the gate
###
The mulch and wagon -
Unlike me - wait patiently
For sunshine and spring
###
The wind rattles and
Shouts like it’s aiming to bring
Great oaks to their knees
###
I love the feeling
Of the cold drafts receding
As the fire is lit
