with vivid color often

break soonest as well //

from this sturdy bridge

i will watch your world grow by

for you might not see

i suddenly realized i hadn't written a haiku in ages.

// haikus #15-#22

the first of the year
new chances, new questions and
possibilities

cold glitter of ice
blue shadows on fresh white snow
crossed with rabbit tracks

how i do wish
i could find my kindle cord
there are things to read :(

coat of black velvet
eyes like twin orbs, glowing bright
hunter prowls at night

flowers i was looking at when i wrote the haiku}

Once bright with color
now faded from early hues
but beauty remains

back, front and middle
here you look, you find, knowledge
black on white pages

xxx

gone to win the world
but my love is not for sale
offer all in vain

xxx

bitter promises
buttoned up to my chin, came
undone with one smile

mom gave me a little mini journal for christmas and i think i'm going to use it mainly for haikus. so here's the haikus i've written in it so far (i've done a couple other things too but i'm not posting them.) the 'bitter promises' one is edited from the journal version, it didn't make as much sense originally.

// evergreen our hope

shining light to all nations

adorned with pure love //

// haiku # 13 //

// blankets hugging legs

sunlight kissing my forehead

I squeeze my pillow //


xxx cleaning out my drafts... i had a bunch of haikus i'd written and not published yet xxx

// haiku #12 //

// i philosophize

often while in the shower

thoughts, water, down the drain //

// haiku #11 //

 // nets of mesh or words

either catches just as well

breaks our fragile wings //

// haiku #10 //

face set into hands

sorrow heavy like white stone

lasting through ages

// haiku #9 //

// you drink black coffee

i sip water from plastic

yellow sunny cup //

// haiku #7 //

// here's the thing, ok

i just want to show you how

light shines in the dark //

// haiku #8 //

// skin white as pure snow

lips red as a full-blown rose

heart steeped in black tea //

// haikus #5-6 //

via pinterest

// lean out the window

try to catch a breath, a breeze

hear it in the grass

warm languor drapes you

damp drops on chest and forehead

finally wind comes //

haiku #4

// You be the potter

find my hearts imperfections

and shape them anew //

jeremiah 18:1-8

// a haze surrounds me

a blur of virgin light beams

and then there is you //
