Haiku

A few years back I started writing one haiku (or more) a day. Condensing all the day’s victories or struggles into three lines, just seventeen syllables, simplified the meaning of all those experiences. Through this process I slowly began to see beauty in the simplest of actions. After a haiku hiatus for most of 2006 I am once again back in action. I will continue posting them here as I write them, but here is what I have written so far this year:

09 Jan 2007
Talked to him on Skype
At least more personal than
A text messaged, “Hello”

08 Jan 2007
Taking Benadryl
Runny nose and still sneezing
Cold-Eez doesn’t help
