Daily Haikus: My Journey Writing One Haiku a Day - The Cracked Door

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

You can’t be your best
Person in a place you are
Trying to outgrow.

Blast from the Past:

It’s just me and you
What you water’s what you grow
Growing without you

Through rushes of fire,
Bits turn into the objects
Of glass we all know

Blast from the Past:

Do not use the past
If you would like to know who
I truly am now

Full enlightenment
Opening the lid, conscious
Veiled by no shadow

Blast from the Past:

Faith without doubt is dead, either toxic dogmatism or an insipid mirage.

Heavy dew
Brings out the smell of
Fresh flowers

Blast from the Past:

If you press your ear
Against a seashell, you get
To hear everything.

Which way should I go?
Oh heart, oh heart, where to go?
Just let the wind blow

Blast from the Past:

Moving on through your
Criteria, uncontained
Like the roving wind
