Haikus on Simplicity
I.
A robin chirping
'neath a canopy of leaves
her blue egg unhatched
II.
In the evening sun
I, sitting Indian style,
scratch my left elbow
III.
There are German words
on a silver can of beer:
I am pleased with them
IV.
The door is closed
just enough to where light fades
but the warmth still exists
V.
My glossy pebbles
surround my Buddha statue
suddenly, I thirst
mmm. i've only written one haiku in my life. and it's in the vortex. maybe i should try again.
ReplyDeleteand yeah, this whole process is really rewarding. we'll have a chapbook's worth by the end of the summer.
