Daily Haikus: My Journey Writing One Haiku a Day

I write a haiku a day to practice writing. Here are some of my posts for you to enjoy. I have been doing this for years and only recently started posting the ones I like, so some days you may see me post more than one: one that I wrote for today, and another older one I wrote in the past. I don’t follow every haiku convention literally, and some days I write something different from a haiku.

Either way, I hope you enjoy

    My steps are horses,
    Roaming the plains.
    My songs are birds,
    Soaring over the trees.
    My passionate heart runs free.

    Blast from the Past:

    I have a desire
    Wants to break free from my chest
    And fly far away

    Fly me to the moon.
    Hand my hand and don’t let go.
    Life will find a way.

    Blast from the Past:

    I close both my eyes
    Because you can pierce through them
    Right into my soul

    A cute lil puppy
    Climbing, jumping, and eating
    In a pile of trash

    Blast from the Past:

    What is our vast wealth,
    Our millions upon millions?
    Piles of rotting figs

    Sitting in the rain
    Contemplating the meaning
    Of nothing at all

    Blast from the Past:

    This world we have built
    Here for ourselves is nothing
    More than dust and yet…

    Sleep sleep sleep
    For some reason all my body seems to crave is
    Sleep sleep sleep

    Blast from the Past:

    Why do the best laid
    Daily plans go awry from
    Little distractions
