Pirate Fantasy Haiku

This poem was inspired by the pirate fantasy my heroine has.

stormy seas beckon
leading us to distant lands
adventure is nigh

Booming Bass Haiku

it pounds on my head
the booming of the music
that is not my own

--

This haiku was brought on by the intrusion of a neighbor's stereo while we were trying to watch a movie.

Are some people deliberately inconsiderate or just plain clueless?

Turn down your bass response. If you can hear it outside your house (or car) so can your neighbors. They are just too nice to say anything to you.

Trick or Treat Haiku

In the spirit of this special day, enjoy this little Halloween haiku.

through neighborhoods for candy
costumes are required

it's all perspective

Golden Cat Haiku

sad face golden cat,

why are you waving at me?

Silly, I know. My eyes were burning and I didn't know what to write. I looked up at the shelf and this golden cat was waving at me. BAM!!!

Be open to inspiration.

circle for another run
flying leap, heaven

Math Haiku

Math was frustrating me yesterday, but writing a haiku about it was just as frustrating. Why did I write this?

adding subtracting
common denominators
what does x equal

Hero In The Night Haiku

This is about my last chapter of Le Grand Danois.

getting to safety
while evil lurks in shadows
a hero arrives

Okay, I'm sure these aren't technically haiku poems, since they're not about nature. Whatever.

Cat and Dog Haiku

A haiku for the cat family that just adopted the puppy.

feline eyes glaring
as canine nose comes too close
a new dynamic

dancing through a happy ray
fall down to the earth

Here is a haiku to go with my story, Le Grand Danois

Little black wet nose
sniffing for his first breakfast
finds a tasty teat

Hummingbird

A haiku for my spirit animal.

Shiny wings quicken
flitting from vine to flower
you help beauty grow

Sleepy Dream Haiku

For my daughter

Hearing my own breath
sighing so softly in sleep
I'm off to dreamland

Nebraska

Just watched the movie Nebraska.

It inspired this haiku.

Grey skies full of clouds

Brown fields drying in the sun

Windblown dusty roads

I am sleepy and feeling loopy. Forgive me.

Large scaly body
Eyes that glow yellow at night
Wants a human wife

Punch the Wall

An angry haiku.

My fist clenches tight.
The wall looks so inviting.
Too easy to break.

Bedtime

A bedtime haiku.

Eyes are drooping closed.
Hard to open them again.
Time to go to bed.
