HAIKU

a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.

Here’s my shot at ti:

#1

Summer’s tiptoe dance

Stumbles into Autumn’s grace

Lost until next year

#2

Shiny purple bike

White basket with flowers red

Best birthday ever!

#3

Tissue paper hands

Smacking kisses and tight hugs

Remembering Grandma

#4

Clock tower chimes large

Thunder, lightning crack the night

Troublemakers flee

#5

Jazz wails in background

My body moves with it

Searching for the blues

#6

My morning dark brew

Inhaled to open closed eyes

Best part of day
