I close my eyes— shape of violet nightlight lingers in yellow #haiku

out there leaves surge this way and that— so still in here #haiku

morning beach walk… millions of years tumble into my hand #petoskeystone #michigan #dailyhaikuprompt #nature #sensoryart #haiku A Petoskey stone is a fossil colonial coral. These corals lived in warm shallow seas that covered Michigan during Devonian time, some 350 million years ago (Michigan.gov)

fall flurry of gold— a few flashes peck up seed, return to the tree #haiku

rage and hurt abound— haiku can be a haven if we let it #haiku

September morning; Two blue jays dive into the brush Startling a bevy of doves. #haiku #hokku #poem #poetry #nature

some oak’s leaves linger, guard spring buds—others simply let go #haiku

September Shop windows now scream Halloween decorations. But Night rain dusts off the air, which now smells of earth. Breathe! I clean the camera lens for the colours to come. #September #poem #poetry #nature #rain #photography #naturephotography #mobilephotography #oak #OakTree #Autumn #colours

spider zips under bed; incidental compassion— too slow to pursue #haiku

the me that wonders who the old woman in my mirror is #haiku

I’ve taken, of late _ to sleeping flat on my back _ eternity pose #haiku

every haiku I get to write is a blessing #haiku

dog’s favorite game— a bite for you, a bite for me #haiku

#HaikuSaturday #haiku 5/7/5: a calico cat stalks a mouse in a cornfield-- a whisker from fall short form: twilight game of cat and mouse-- rustling corn stalks Please add a version if you feel like it.

Even in troubled times, I find joy in reading Issa’s haiku & writing like Issa. Issa helps me zoom in on details of life around me, responding in childlike wonder, as Tom Sacramona does here: a puppy licking the dew off everything (p. 37, of David G . Lanoue’s Write Like Issa) #haiku #HaikuTip

giving the dog a bowl to lick— behind my smile a much younger girl licks cookie dough from her fingertip * * * This felt like a #haiku moment, but so far it’s not quite #tanka even. Is it #micropoetry ? Suggestions and other versions welcome.

common haiku theme impermanence—some Bluesky haijin come and go #haiku (haijin=one who writes haiku) Google provides other options, too, but this is the meaning that fits here.

#HaikuTip I’m preparing a course based on the book Write Like Issa: A Haiku How-To by David G. Lanoue. I’ll post some snippets here. Issa wrote with empathy & compassion, respecting every creature as his peer & companion in life: the cricket’s winter residence . . . my quilt (poem on p. 12)

 Climb Mount Fuji,
