Zen Reflection - Writing Haiku
Added 2020-04-05 22:22:20 +0000 UTCHere are a few of my haiku:
Reaching up high
grasping at the stars
only numb fingers
A cherished cup given by a friend
shatters on the floor
the memories still remain
Driving on a rural county road
The smell of incense in the air
No, just a trash fire
Suddenly I was a child again
asking for my father’s advice
but then I woke up
The server fills up another coffee
My hands are jittery
No sleep tonight

Well written! Thanks for giving it a try and for joining! I haven’t written a haiku in awhile, but now I suddenly have the urge to again. It really can be therapeutic. I hope you will continue to give a try. Take care!

2022-04-10 14:00:43 +0000 UTCWhat you said about haikus capturing the moment in a few words really sold me on the idea. I'll try one of my own: alone in my room my heart heavy with worries I wait patiently Now that I've written one (probably my first), it feels really nice. Like I was able to release some weight I've been holding. I think I might turn this into a habit.

Haiku are so fun because they paint such a vivid little picture in your mind I really liked the one about the Coffee I could just see someone sitting in a cafe
