“Try”
Find that extra inch,
the last iota of love,
compassion, patience.

Haiku Sunday – Settlers
“Settlers”
New territories
to explore, expand, extract.
Wild game of Catan.
Haiku Wednesday – Catch
“Catch”
Playing for hours,
waiting for respite, trying
to freeze those moments.

Haiku Sunday – Course
“Course”
Winding and babbling
or plunging over rapids,
always flows forward.

“Growth”
Selective harvest,
taking only what you need,
and the forest thrives.

Haiku Sunday – Visit
“Visit”
Afternoon coffee,
neighborhood jaunt, then porch-sit.
Watch the town flow by.

Haiku Wednesday – Bustle
“Bustle”
Non-stop production,
and then a moment of rest,
and I feel restless.

Rethink word placement,
or choice, or phraseology,
to serve the story.

Haiku Wednesday – Ghost
“Ghost”
Ghost, you call, pointing.
Just a shadow, I explain.
And yet, I wonder.
Steve D
My three-year-old insists on calling any shadow he sees a “ghost”. I’ve tried to correct him a few times, but the more I think about it, the creepier the idea is. So I hope you all are equally creeped out. You’re welcome. *laughs in Halloween*
Haiku Sunday – Intoxicate
“Intoxicate”
Wake up with morning,
steaming energy, then shift
to numbing tonic.
