In case you didn’t know I write Haiku, I do! Check out my deck of unconventional and thought provoking Haiku at: http://haikuforthought.com
I love a good haiku! It is rather refreshing to find you can say so much with so few words… Kinda like a glance.
Just scroll down to the bottom for the new ones… A pain I know but…..
Periodic daily haiku will appear in the comments below, and I would love it if you left one too…
5, 7, 5 on the syllables…
Play with me!

embracing the now
is more refreshing than god
slipping off my tongue
.
.
.
.
.
.
awareness is love
is accountability
awareness is real
.
.
.
.
.
.
if you tell stories
believe everything you say
nothing’s ever true
.
.
.
.
.
.
the times are changing
are you ready for the shift
it’s gonna be good
.
.
.
.
.
.
constant is the change
change comes when you see it there
change is always there
.
.
.
.
.
.
awakening truth
in lieu of self-awareness
be accountable
.
.
.
.
.
.
climbing to the top
I can see from the ground up
all that lies ahead
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’d ask why you came
if I knew where you came from
but you are here now
.
.
.
.
.
.
if I was perfect
there’d be nothing left to grow
so I’ll just be me
.
.
.
.
.
.
don’t ask me to stop
or I’ll just get bigger
you’ll wish I hadn’t
.
.
.
.
.
.
did you know you’re god
why not try it on for size
I could be god too
.
.
.
sighted yet still blind
did you know the fog had cleared
matters not just move…
foot missile is launched
mad man is the one who ducks
true man gets punished
you look familiar
seems we should have met before
maybe in a dream
.
.
.
inspired to flow
I love it when friends haiku
come by any time
.
.
.
.
.
.
watch the pain go by
it’s how you’ve always done it
don’t stay for too long
.
.
.
.
.
.
I didn’t choose that
the ghetto mentality
and I can’t judge it
.
.
.
.
.
.
when I look at you
I see someone so tender
someone so afraid
.
.
.
five syllables sing
seven others dance freely
is this then haiku?
my offering sent
it awaits “moderation”
a bead of sweat laughs
.
.
.
let the magic flow
from a place of assurance
all is very well
.
.
.
.
.
.
forget it kiddo
you’ll never get your ice cream
or push on the swing
.
.
.
Love, Manifest now
Forever growing in time
Self aware it is
Amazed by the trees
I stand before them in awe
The Fall has arrived
a feather dances
along the Woodstock skyline
beauty surrounds me
a muse for the world
amused by the creative,
I am a free man
Samsara is fun,
But Nirvana is priceless.
Which do you prefer?
prefer nirvana
if you want to live happy
or choose instead pain
samsara is fun
if you make it nirvana
so have fun with it
give a little bit
but don’t give too much of you
you’ll need it one day
each of our rightness
together makes one big wrong
be wrong from the start
each of our wrongness
together makes one big right
be right from the start
my self is my gift
self is everyday people
god and its witness
why attach to me
when me is intangible
presence can’t be held
wrongness or rightness
wrong AND right is unity
both are always here
same message we have
though different words we use
its fun being free
love is everywhere.
the only problem in love
is doubting its there
I agree dear James
your love is rather quite true
I’ll never doubt you
It makes me happy
when you come and share Haikus
come again feel free
There are many ways
to say the same little thing
and love from one heart
One heart and one love
one destiny, from above
all beings are god
Haiku’s are awesome
thanks for the introduction,
I embrace the art
I no longer doubt,
I live free and consciously,
despite being judged
the past has now passed
Now will now be forever
I have been set free
inside i am still
waiting to find a passion
devas will dance then
you can go deep down
but don’t you stay for too long
you might get stuck there
often what matters
passes by without notice
take the time to see
to love each moment,
is eternities blessing
Heaven loves the now
I am found in love
yet I am lost in reason
love is the answer
In a Mothers womb,
Beating hearts unite as one,
A beautiful spirit gift.
Feet buried in sea sand,
Ocean bounding all around,
Music in the shell.
Wheat feilds blowing free,
Dancing under the Willow,
A beautiful me.
Little cricket green,
you have a lovely secret,
decipher your song.
This is a Tanka ~57577~
Wishing dreamy dreams,
my body relaxed~free~,
Drifting away on your skin,
coming and going ~again~.
The Gift
A seashell awaits,
Sea flowing foward and back,
taking my footprints….
To a mermaid deep below…
Another lone shell arrives.
create a new heart
in this way you can be free
transform pain to art
mind is paradox.
answers found within questions.
to be is to know.
