Miseries, fleeings --
names, places vivid -- poof, gone
when I jolt awake

#haiku #haikufeels [jolt] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Leaves unfurl wide
Flowers unclench hard pink fists
Itch blooms in my throat

#haiku #haikufeels [bloom] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Haiku enriches
life on this earth: thank you, Anne,
for prompt fellowship

#haiku #haikufeels [enrich] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

An ego inflates
as praise rushes inward -- as
a soul lifts upward

#haiku #haikufeels [inflate] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Remains of the day
wait for no one, fast or slow:
breathe, reader -- just breathe

#haiku #haikufeels [remain] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

plum blossom
drifting on the breeze
between years

At the peak of swing,
child's speed is zero -- but
joy is maximized

Nobel Prize for me?
No, nor Pulitzer. More lost
than won: so it goes

#haiku #haikufeels [fail] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Happenstance meeting
forty years gone by -- same eyes
glow, same lips silent

#haiku #haikufeels [happen] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Tiny gnomes advise
birch roots under ground: dig ye
deep, who would long live

#haiku #haikufeels [advise] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Blue goes indigo;
indigo, black; as earth turns
waiting distant dawn

#haiku #haikufeels [deepen] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

a slug polishing
the century’s edge

On nights such as this
I realize why I stay:
one couch, legs entwined

#haiku #haikufeels [realize] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Why does the tar get
so hot? Sun's radiation
sinks right down in it

#haiku #haikufeels [target] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

In French, ignorer
means not to know -- malintent
unclaimed, judgment-free

#haiku #haikufeels [ignore] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

A failed lawyer
seeks solace at the counter:
"make it a double"

#haiku #haikufeels [bar] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Gods, grant me wisdom
to tarry not in dull gab:
shared truths, or silence

#haiku #haikufeels [grant] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Ancestral voices
speak through my lungs -- hungry, bored --
no mysteries there

#haiku #haikufeels [channel] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Figure-eight orbit,
four souls speaking poetry:
a moon path opens

#haiku #haikufeels [open] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

A firm handshake, a
sound grip on reality,
makes me trust you more

#haiku #haikufeels [affirm] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Ich see trees of grene
Redde roses too
Ich see them bloome
For me and you
And Ich thynke to myselfe
What a wondirful worlde

Ich see welkin blue
And cloudes of whyte
The brighte blessid daye
The darke sacred nighte
And Ich thynke to myselfe
What a wondirful worlde

Doe crosses the road --
eyes widen, her head turns left --
motor purrs, she walks

#haiku #haikufeels [yield] #blueskypoets #writingprompt

Brown-knuckled branches --
one green tip must be the first --
bursting in moments

#haiku #haikufeels [start] #writingprompt #blueskypoets

It's pollen frenzy --
what anthers eject, I breathe,
then eject in turn

# haiku #haikufeels [eject] #writingprompt #blueskypoets

Six eyes imagined
for every true pair: I know
the weight of stage fright

#haiku #haikufeels [realize] #writingprompt #blueskypoets

"From that day onward
I clove unto Queequeg
like a barnacle"
