Inspired Haiku

something of me
in the memory of a fawn
gone into the woods

Sun spills crimson locks
her gentle face resting
on horizon’s pillow

Wake and bake, midday
Beers, replaced morning cartoons,
And video games.

Rain’s pitter patter-
Snoring canine companions-
Recliner recluse.

The thunder rumbles
excitement of a night storm
Lightning soon to come

#inspiredhaiku #haiku #poetry

Heavens tore, roaring
Open, static crackle, earth
Flashes, humble pie.

Hey everyone. I have not been posting in a bit. Dealing with some stuff. Will be back.

Swooping swallows swim
In looping twirls, pirouettes,
Some twilight magic.

Spotted ladybird
Rests beside me on this leaf
Blessing each other

Decay as my roof
Life as earwig seeking fall
Of bark and summer

#haiku #inspiredhaiku #poetry #micropoetry

Musty underworld,
Tiny pincers click, earwigs
Dance, darkness writhing.
#inspiredhaiku #micropoetry #haiku #poem #writing #writingcommunity

Prompt: Swallows dart across the evening sky—trace the swift turns and graceful arcs against fading golden light.

#haiku #inspiredhaiku #poetry #micropoetry #dailyhaikuprompt

Prompt: Earwigs hide beneath fallen bark—feel the cool shadowed world where these small creatures dwell, unseen but alive.

#haiku #inspiredhaiku #poetry #micropoetry #dailyhaikuprompt

Flickering, floating
Candles in a cascade of
Shadows, dancing lights.

#inspiredhaiku #micropoetry #haiku #poem #writing #writingcommunity

Prompt: Fireflies blink in twilight fields—observe the gentle flashes of green light that flicker like secrets in the cooling dusk.

#haiku #inspiredhaiku #poetry #micropoetry #dailyhaikuprompt

Spinner weaving an
Intricate bed, silk shimmers,
Gossamer morning.
#inspiredhaiku #micropoetry #haiku #poem #writing #writingcommunity

Prompt: A spider spins her silken web—catch the glistening threads that shimmer with dew and the quiet patience woven in stillness.

Thank you.

Lazy ladybug,
Summer winds landed you here,
Black on red on green.

They soar above me
eagles hunting for their prey
we are mere shadows

#inspiredhaiku #haiku #poetry

World laid out below
Sky rings through eagle feathers
Above the great cliffs

#haiku #inspiredhaiku #poetry #micropoetry

Prompt: Eagles circle above sheer cliffs—witness the vast sweep of sky and the deep shadows dancing below.

eagle's eye records
futility of discord
we are not ignored
