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

  Welcome and behold
  The roots that weave us with those
  Who built our present

  Blast from the Past:

  Processing choices
  Made about me before I
  Had even been born.

  I am going to be traveling throughout the countryside until May 28th, 2025, so I will not have consistent internet access. Thus, I will be taking a break from posting my daily haikus. I plan to resume them once I get back. I will also not likely post my daily haikus. I will still write haikus everyday. I not can but love writing these while traveling, but I will not usually have the internet to upload them here every day like I normally day. Once I get back, I hope to bulk upload all the haikus I wrote as I traveling. Thank you for your patience and support.

  One, lone airplane
  Flying over the ocean,
  Taking me to new worlds

  Blast from the Past:

  This winding dirt road
  What wonders I must go see
  To explore the world

  The ground caves beneath
  Leaving us unable to tell
  Where we had been
  Might as well where to go now.
  Our horizon has gone.

  Blast from the Past:

  Let your voice thunder
  Out of the earth breaking up
  The ground underneath

  Hiking through the forest,
  In search of a monkey.

  What’s that rustle in the bush?
  Is that a monkey?
  No, it’s a focused cat.

  What’s that swinging from the trees?
  Is that a monkey?
  No, it’s a scavenging crow.

  What’s that clamor?
  Is it a monkey?
  No, it’s gushing water.

  What’s that brown figure in the bush?
  Is it a monkey?
  No, it’s a rotting stump.

  Never did find any monkeys,
  But in the search,
  I discovered
  A whole forest

  Blast from the Past:

  Great tree of the forest
  Would stand unknown if it wasn’t
  Named by cicadas

  Liberate the earth.
  Imprison the sky. I fall
  To remain faithful

  Blast from the Past:

  To have faith is to
  Live in the constant fear
  That you will lose it.
