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

Lies a growing stone, a book
Teaching fallen secretsBlast from the Past:
Entering ritual
Waves. Flames became my water,
Quenched by its fierce thirst. - 12/02/24 Haiku for the Day
I left my country
Where political storms rage,
Seeking new storiesBlast from the Past:
As clouds slowly eat the retreating sun,
I lay on the summer grass.
My eyes clothes to this tumultuous world
For just a little while - 12/01/24 Haiku for the Day
Within this mute world
I live amid plague and fire
With only languageBlast from the Past:
I search for a sun
That can inhabit my eyes,
And eyes to envision that sun. - 11/30/24 Haiku for the Day

Reed. Yet also the reed helps
Us to read the wind.Blast from the Past:
Turning everything
Into itself to advance
‘Bout the world, the wind - 11/29/24 Haiku for the Day

From your narrow history,
The fire in your eyesBlast from the Past:
Our history ends
Not through extinction
But by success
In reducing us all
To animals
