National Haiku Day was April 17th ... the object of course - write a Haiku!
A Haiku is usually about nature and beauty as well as all things natural -- It is three lines long and the syllables run as such 5 - 7 - 5 ... give this your best shot and be sure to tag me in the comment box as @Danceinsilence, otherwise I may end up missing a good read. I have shortened the normal deadline of 30 days to 14. There will be a Haiku Sensei Award.

Trails

Winding paths cross over,

Intersecting life’s pathways,

The trail stops with us.

April 17, 2021

sun shines, birds sing as

spring bursts from the soil where

your ashes now lay

Cleansing

Dark clouds; promises

Remain of the rain to come.

Bring it on; cleanse me.

shifting skies

clouds fading in the

blurred sky carried away by

a breath of cold wind

Spring

Sunlight warms my face.

Vibrant grass, fresh air, blue skies,

refresh tired eyes.

(winter ends)

Happy Zen Place

The sun on my face.

Mountain trail ahead of me.

This is my zen place.

Water in hearts and souls

Puddle not a sea

Ocean, not a calm river

Pond, but not a lake

A Haiku Challenge?

I don't know what I'm doing.

But I will still try.

*Sigh of relief*

When Will I Learn?

I

I don’t understand

Much in this life of ever

Growing confusion

II

I’ve learned to pronounce

The words kireji and haiku

But where do they fit?

III

And what of kigo?

Of what season do I write?

The seasons of life?

IV

So now I concede

There will always be some things

I don’t understand
