on haiku

When I was first starting to use twitter I was looking for some way to write daily and in few characters.  I sometimes love the boundaries of "forms".  I started writing daily haiku for breakfast.  Most are drivel. Sometimes they surprised me. These are some of my favorites.

Companion Animals

My fuzzy black cat,
with eyes that glow rich amber,
hides invisible.

Goodmorning!Awake!
Purrfection is Feline.What?
You didn't know? 

Pugilistic bark,
morning is here silly human!
Sometimes I like cats.




Seasoning

8/22/11
Pinking sky at dawn,
Autumn hovers over there,
beyond baked summer.

8/26/11
Record Rains and Droughts,
Tornadoes, Hurricanes too-
Earth is kinda mad.

8/28/11
Rain pummels this home,
Nature's heavy breath whispers,
storm still hours away.

8/31/11
Sometimes there are tears,
and then there are smiles again,
emotions just are.
9/7/11

Open up my heart,
hear this persistent soul song,
it will not lie down.

9/11/11
This morning dawns bright,
echoes of past mornings howl,
today is not then.

9/12/11
Choices surround me
work, play, sing, dance, dream, learn, live
freedom embraces!
