Todayโ€™s #lovenote on a coffee mug x

A haiku for anyone who struggles often but hasnโ€™t given up:

โ€œthe world is not ending today, because lights are still turning on, becauseโ€

grass blades still stab through
hard winter plains, because life
persists, beyond death.

I made it to 100 days of living/working like a full-time writer (as much as I am able), and itโ€™s been a messy road, and it all feels a little anticlimactic.

BUT

I havenโ€™t completely given up on writing, and for me, thatโ€™s the biggest thing to celebrate today! ๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅ‚

A haiku for current for a stalled mindโ€ฆ

โ€œyesterday, and the day before,โ€

the sun rose. it fell.
yet here I remain. unmoved
by time. still the same.

This haikuโ€™s for the brain fog that clouded my mind and slowed my movement this week:

โ€œthe week-long storm passes:โ€

dense fog retreats, and
revived, I search, once again,
for sacred objects.

A haiku to remember that life is a collection of many things:

โ€œwhatever happens, please donโ€™t forget thatโ€

fail, win, lose, draw: each
one, a single drop. itโ€™s not
Everything. just try.

A haiku for a snowy week so far in Notts:

โ€œWinter has finally arrivedโ€

slow sunrise, blue-grey.
snow blankets, green tucked away,
hush now. not today.

A haiku about pernicious threads:

โ€œpoison ainโ€™t the discerning kindโ€

give it some space, and
it takes and hates and takes โ€˜till
thereโ€™s nothing good left.

A haiku for curlicue thinking and word play ๐Ÿค—:

โ€œold times ainโ€™t been gone that longโ€

try lookinโ€™ side-ways,
slide-ways, all-ways, never straight.
youโ€™ll see you ainโ€™t late.

A haiku for a cold morning walk:

โ€œcold moon spotlight high above, down belowโ€

earth cracks, separates,
wisps on balding trees swing slow,
freeze, and lose a toe

A haiku for that โ€œIโ€™m almost on to somethingโ€ feeling

โ€œthrumming, humming, somethingโ€™s comingโ€

honey-thick seconds
slide by, clear paths, open wide.
no tricks. believe. try.

A haiku for that feeling you get when you move a little closer to something you only imagined might happenโ€ฆ

โ€œone step closer into my dream life, whereโ€

words, like Springtime buds,
burst through a cold earth, joyous,
a vision now birthed.

A haiku about a recurring repressed memory dreamโ€ฆ

โ€œin my Dream Houseโ€

lights flicker, ghosts haunt.
I scramble: Ma sleeps through it.
shadows everywhere.

A haiku for the lonely (and grumpy) old man who lives somewhere in me, apparentlyโ€ฆ

โ€œwhat a cold time to be aliveโ€

hard winter, stiff night,
stiffer drink, held in my right,
sip slow, let it bite.

A haiku for fragmented sleep on a chilly night:

โ€œmaybe itโ€™s midnightโ€

warm mattress: cold nose:
no good at this: sweaty toes:
so it goes: eyes close:

A haiku about watching life pass by:

โ€œthat urgent river, she twirls, she whirls, andโ€

her liquid arms curl,
tempting lives into motion.
stone feet stuck in place.

A haiku about the cycle of voyage and return through aging:

โ€œin ten days, the page will turn, and there will beโ€

new words to read, butโ€”
run ons, old chapters, hold firm.
forward, yes. (and back.)

A haiku for a hazy, amalgamation of distant memories about secreting away beneath tables and beds:

โ€œcountless legs, all bodiless,โ€

stroll by, and I hide.
mouth pressed, slim line, wordlessly
reaching. gone. I tried.

A haiku for last night and the rain:

โ€œthrough the darkness,โ€

tittering talk. cold
nimble fingers tap against
the glass. please come in.
