[stylist] A Haiku I Wrote This Morning

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

OK; here's another

The muse is with us
As we pass the cup of arts
Stunned by her wonder.

Hi Jacky,
Ah. Never knew that. I'll try again.

Jim, 
Another good one. There is a rule that says Haiku has no title. In this case
your title is part of your poem.  You might have to re-write it so that the
leaves are incorporated into the poem.
Keep at it.

Hi Jackie,
How are you so creative?

Here's one I wrote after I saw what happened as I took the dogs out on
Saturday.

Saturday Leaves

Blasted from your perch,
Piled against my front gate, dead,
You'll feed my garden.

Jim, 
You have just written your second Haiku!

Tone deaf-listening-
the great symphony of life
is inspired by you.

While Haiku are usually written about a snapshot of nature, I much prefer
the ones written about human qualities. If I recall, the ones dealing with
human nature may be called a Senryu. They are both Japanese and if you are
not entering a contest, who cares.
Jacqui

Hi Jackie,
I just want to say that you are inspiring me to keep trying. In this group I
feel like a tone-deaf listener to the symphony.

Shawn and Jim,
These are both great Haiku. They show great insight. Both could also be
"Poetweets."

And here's a haiku that kind-of explains my absence from the list of late.

Mighty flood of life
That sweeps me to the future
In vain I struggle.

Harvest

How many layers

pain, pleasure, my core.
