This solid haiku by @wolftwinthomas.bsky.social inspired me to write this one. And we were talking earlier about how the moon is a muse for so many haiku. (And I hate it when a poet's introduction to a poem is longer than the poem itself - mea culpa, mea culpa...) #haiku #poetry

inside a dead tree a colony of mushrooms peppered with sawdust even in this fog the roadside farmstand still glows with rows of pumpkins a skeleton key all that's left of grandpa's house unlocks memories midnight moonlit lane dead leaves scuttling at my feet alive once again #haiku #HopePit

one single red leaf on a forest floor of brown makes me pause my hike #haiku #hike-oo #senescence

The older I get, the less I want to be seen - I hike like Bigfoot #haiku #hike-oo

Welcome to Cocaton: it's oddly familiar! My daughter Caroline painted the mural and I built a small town that is visited by aliens, has a lake beastie, and a Stonehenge on the mountain. It currently lives in my memory but someday - like Brigadoon - it will return... (Conrad+Caroline+town=Cocaton)

grocery checkout she buys cat food and mouse traps and complains loudly #haiku #BigYku

THIS IS THE DAY, by The The, is probably the most hopeful song I know. "This is the day, your life will surely change - this is the day, when things fall into place..." The whole album is solid. @hopepit.bsky.social
