Archived Haiku

My first post...


Geez, I haven't done this in years, so it will take some getting used to. I'm going to start with what haiku I have written previously, then come back and update whenever the mood strikes. Hopefully this type of thing--the blog setting--will inspire me. I'll try to be better with this than I have been with the numerous diaries/journals I've tried to keep over the years. My haiku are all untitled, and are often created in response to and influenced by the weather or strong emotions. Or, the lack of sleep which often eludes me as I lie in my bed :-)  Well... here goes nothin'....

A storm this way comes.
Though it can never compare
To the storm inside...

04/02/11
Unfettered hunger,
Escaped from strained boundaries.
Oh, savored chaos...

03/31/11
Calm, still, breathing deep,
Reflections swirl through my mind.
Can you guess, my heart?

02/27/11
Lying in quiet,
Dreaming dreams I'll soon forget...
Help me remember....

02/13/11
Always and never.
Belying my existence...
You do it with ease.

02/12/11
Dripping water pounds
On my cerebral forehead.
Oh sweet, sweet, torture...

01/15/11
Reaching out to you,
O serene and joyous place
Where dreams do prevail...

12/13/10
Wanting from afar
What one knows will never be
Leads to emptiness...

12/11/10
Multi-faceted,
and with numerous talents,
I know no limits...

12/08/10
Blissfully dreaming
Of days and nights in your arms...
Make my dreams come true...

12/04/10
I am yet unscathed
By the burn of winter's heat...
How long will this last?

11/27/10
Stark depravity
Freed by ingenuity.
Tame her if you dare...

11/25/10
Turkey Day is here!
Rain is falling, too, I fear.
Pumpkin pie for all!

11/15/10
Challenging myself
Not to want you here with me,
But, alas, I've failed...

11/14/10
Safe here, from the rain...
Cocooned in this luscious warmth,
My dreams are of you.

11/12/10
Together again...
Greatly missed was your comfort
And rapturous bliss...

11/06/10
Saturday snuggles...
A companion would be nice
To ward off the chill...

10/26/10
The cat at my feet,
Curled up and ready for dreams
That won't come to me...

10/23/10
Destination found...
Delicious warmth and comfort...
Till to work again

10/17/10
Finally made it,
But, alas, sleep will not come...
Tell me a story…
