Haiku – 3 Looks at Swing
Swing for the fences
He thought, as he stood at home
Crowd cheering loudly

On a loud playground
Children swing, slide, run, and play
Happy in their youth

A swing of the axe
The turkey met its demise
Time for Thanksgiving

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.
