Here are some more Haiku that I have written in the last couple of days. I am going to try and write at least one a day as part of my daily routine. I am finding that the process is great food for the soul. I am deciding for the moment to stick with the three lined 5-7-5 syllable counting form as I am enjoying trying to find freedom within these tight boundaries. However, after recently reading about Gary Snyder's views on the topic, I imagine that I will soon change all that. (Here is a great interview you can read if the desire is yours: Gary Snyder talks with Udo Wenzel )
But for now, here are my four latest humble Haiku attempts.
A flag, a symbol
of man drawing boundaries
on that which is free
Death is stalking us
so I celebrate the day;
it could be our last.
All about is still
while up above, clouds move fast.
Summer starts to wane.
The little kitten
cuddles me with her sharp claws.
It is true, love hurts.
i like the last one a lot! :)
