Haiku – 6/22/2021
A simple haiku
Poetry with rhythmic lines
Simple and complete
+
I will be honest. I took a small break on this blog and I am having trouble getting the muse to fire back up again. That’s why I wrote a haiku about a haiku. Trying to generate anything to get me haikuing (is that a word) again. Thanks for following and have a great day, afternoon, or night – depending on when or where you are currently reading this.

Haiku – 3/22/2021
Sky a hue of blue
Dawn replacing the nighttime
Brand new day is born
+
I opened my curtains after getting out of bed this morning and was hit immediately with a view of a gorgeous clear sky. It helped to inspire this Haiku and seeing the world start is another reason why I am glad I am a morning person. How about you? Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Haiku – 1/25/2019
Another friday
A long week comes to an end
Time to rest a bit
-
Fear Filled Fridays (8/31/2018): Hallway at Night
Wooden boards creaking
Footsteps that are not my own
Walking on the floor
-
Fear Filled Fridays (8/24/2018): Missing
Bleak cold grey headstones
Fresh light of dawn breaks on them
One grave is empty
-
Fear Filled Fridays (8/17/2018): Under the Bed
In the darkened room
Nightlight protects the children
From monsters unseen
-
Fear Filled Fridays (8/10/2018): A Tale of Silver Bullets
Deadly shape shifter
I hear your howls at the moon
Tonight it all ends
†
I fear no silver
You cannot defeat me now
In my beastly form
†
Claws slash, rip, tear flesh
Hunter and creature battle
A gun blast echoes
†
A month of days pass
Fever, chills, tormented soul
Full moon on the rise
-
Fear Filled Fridays (8/3/2018): Nocturnal
Standing in shadows
Vampire watching his victim
Lusting for rich blood

Haiku – 3 Looks at Pin
This was the first Haiku I wrote for the challenge this week. I just couldn’t wrap my head around what to write for the word “pin.” It was getting frustrating. Below are the three lines I came up with.
I can’t pin it down
Can’t think of a good Haiku
Too tough this Monday
Then these two popped into my mind.
I think they sound decent enough.
Pinned under a car
Spider-Man swings into help
There to save the day
+
Hair pinned up and neat
Ready for the junior prom
Waiting for her date
+
Anyway, do you want to take the challenge this week?

Haiku – Unmotivated
My great haiku muse
Sitting silent and alone
Waiting to create
+
I know a lot you signed on for this blog because of my poetry and haiku. I am sorry if it hasn’t been popping off with that subject matter as of late. I honestly haven’t had the motivation to do it. Most of my poetry is on the fly. It pops into my head and I sit down to write out what is flowing from me. That hasn’t happened a lot lately. So, I have a lot of pre-scheduled stuff that I am letting fill the void. Next year I plan to scale back on that to just three days a week. I hope that maybe poetry and haiku will be more in earnest then. Who knows? The muse is a fickle thing and when it chooses to emerge again I will be waiting for it. How do you guys handle the drought when the muse takes a break? Just curious.

Haiku – Tanked 2
Running on empty
Nothing to write for this blog
Juices flowing slow
Tanked 1
Nothing in the tank
It is just empty and dry
I need some new juice
