HAIKU: I’LL STAY SUNNY

November sun haiku

Brightly shone the sun
as if to bid November
a cheery welcome

Rubies (revisited)

5 of 10 in the ‘Fading 23’ series

Surrounded by red
Rubies more precious than gold
Such treasure have I

My heart is a tree

Tri-haiku XL (soon)

as I count the days

Soon my time will be
insufficient for counting
on just ten fingers

Soon my every day
will be weekends forever
So I count the days

HAIKU: RAIN UPON A GARDEN

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

The tears I cry fall

like rain upon a garden

Back to the old and new (haiku)

Concluding the ‘About Brighton’ series (12 of 12)

Through the grandiose
a glimpse of today’s Brighton
History merges

The day after (haiku)

3 of 3 (1 the day before, 2 yesterday)

And after all that
a long walk in winter sun
to dust off cobwebs

The Day (haiku)

2 of 3 (1 yesterday, 3 tomorrow)

Christmas Day is here
festivity, fun and glee
and very late lunch

The Eve (haiku)

1 of 3 (2 tomorrow, 3 the day after)

On the eve before
as anticipation looms
softly comes the night

Haiku for Tuesday rain

3 of 7 in ‘The Syllabic series 22’ from Jemverse

There is sun today
or at very least promise
amidst the grey cloud

Tri-Haiku XXXVIII (Friday)

And so to Friday
for a switch-off come lunchtime
into the weekend

And breathe deep, relax
soak up the fact that this is
deliciously mine

And so it will be
to use wisely and enjoy
pending the new week

Seven

There's something about
writing a haiku each day
that always inspires

Six

Life moves ever on
Moments captured and cherished
Forging memories

Five

5 of 7 in the ‘Seven Haikus 22 series’ from Jemverse

Clever use of words
in three simple lines of verse
Just enough sometimes

Three

3 of 7 in the ‘Seven Haikus 22 series’ from Jemverse

Anticipating
quietness, the solitude
of morning greets me

Two

2 of 7 in the ‘Seven Haikus 22 series’ from Jemverse

A poem in hand
has worth beyond measure
for clarity of mind

One

1 of 7 in the ‘Seven Haikus 22 series’ from Jemverse

Conversing unheard
yet the sound is a comfort
Warming like coffee

Tri-haiku XXXVI (Warmth of weekends)

The warmth of weekends
cosy from winter blankets
bodes well to the week

So with high spirits
Monday comes with gusto here
cocooned I embrace

And the warm embers
envelope and protect me
as the week proceeds
